Travel Destination - Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia comprises the peninsula of Nova Scotia, connected to mainland Canada by a narrow isthmus, and Cape Breton Island in the northern part of the province, linked by the world’s deepest causeway, which is 1 mile long. The Atlantic Ocean batters the eastern shore. The Bay of Fundy separates the southern part of the peninsula from the mainland, with the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the north. The northeast is rural and rocky, while the south and southwest are lush and fertile. The Fundy region’s red soil was originally part of the present North African continent. Much of the province is covered by rivers. The land rises to 1770 feet on the northeast islands. Although Canada is officially bilingual (English and French), English is the main language spoken in Nova Scotia. The population is about 1 million, with a third located in the capital city of Halifax.

Halifax is the commercial, administrative and maritime center for all of Atlantic Canada. Situated at the mouth of the Bedford Basin, it is the second-largest natural harbor in the world (after Sydney in Australia) and has a long and distinguished history as a naval and military base. Harbor tours and deep-sea fishing charters are available. Despite the city’s boom over the past 15 years, the historic ‘Waterfront Area’, comprising important 18th- and 19th-century buildings, has been kept intact. Excellent shopping, nightlife and restaurants are to be found in both the old and new sections of the city. Worth seeing are Province House, the birthplace of Canadian democracy in 1819; St Paul’s, the oldest Protestant church in Canada; the Museum of Natural History; the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic (featuring Titanic exhibits); and the 17-acre Victorian Halifax Public Gardens. The six-tenths-mile-long Boardwalk is also worth a visit. Halifax itself is dominated by the Citadel, a star-shaped granite fortress built in 1749 and one of Canada’s most visited National Historic Sites. It is known for its kilted regiment and changing of the guard display. A great view of the city and harbor is available from its ramparts.

Many Canada cruises call at Halifax. For more information, please contact the travel experts at Antietam Travel Service, Inc.
