Nova Scotia
Nova Scotia, one of Canada’s Maritime Provinces, is known for its stunning coastline, rich maritime history, and vibrant culture. Its name means “New Scotland” in Latin, reflecting its Scottish heritage. The capital city is Halifax, a bustling urban center with a historic waterfront, cultural attractions, and a vibrant culinary scene.
The province boasts picturesque coastal landscapes, with rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, and charming fishing villages dotting the shoreline. Cape Breton Island, located in the northeastern part of Nova Scotia, is famous for the scenic Cabot Trail, offering breathtaking views of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Atlantic Ocean.
