Common questions

What is there to see in Nova Scotia?

This page lists the museums, galleries, parks, beaches, waterfalls, lighthouses and historic sites across Nova Scotia, ordered so the best known come first and filterable by city and by type.

What can you do in NS for free?

Most of it. Provincial and municipal parks, beaches, waterfalls, viewpoints and many civic galleries charge no admission - filter this page by Free to see only those.

Can I plan a route through NS?

Yes. The trip planner takes where you are starting, where you are going and how many days you have, and lists the places worth stopping for along that road - measured by how much driving each one actually adds, not by how near it looks on a map.

Is anything on while I am in NS?

The Nova Scotia events pages list what is on by date, and a place with events happening at or beside it says so on its own listing.
