The lure of the fishermen...
As if the stunning coastal landscapes and photogenic fishing villages weren’t enough to draw visitors to Nova Scotia and the Maritime Provinces, there’s also the cultural mix of early French, Irish, Scottish, and English settlers with Native American influences... currents that flow through their unique cuisines, music, ancient traditions, and storytelling... Learn how Highlands kilts are made. Dance to Celtic music at a Cape Breton “kitchen party.” Immerse yourself in the lure (and lore) of this down-to-earth, mystical world of mountain lakes, eagles, whales, fishermen, and the sea.

2. HALIFAX / PEGGY’S COVE / LUNENBURG Halifax is cosmopolitan and eclectic, with its eyes on the future and feet firmly in the past. Fresh sea air enhances its exhilarating mix of modern towers and colonial brick buildings, avenues lined with hip cafés, shops and galleries, surrounded by gracious Victorian parks and gardens. Drive less than an hour to Peggy’s Cove – population 76 – a place in Nova Scotia that is truly a world apart, a fishing village with a lighthouse overlooking St. Margaret’s Bay. Nestled on a rocky coastline with stunning vistas, this enclave is a magnet for artists and photographers. You’ll also make a visit to Mahone Bay, a picture-postcard maritime town, en route to the fishing town of Lunenburg for a walking tour with a local guide. Old Town Lunenburg
