Feel the Spirit from the Word Go! As home to the highest tides in the world, historic landmarks, and exciting cultural activities, Nova Scotia will leave you with memories that will last a lifetime. Our seacoast has some of the most amazing natural wonders in the world, from sandy beaches and rugged cliffs to pristine lakes and lush farmlands, every view is simply breathtaking. Nova Scotia is a year-round destination with many outdoor adventures to choose from such as whale watching, hiking, kayaking, canoeing, biking, or visiting the beach. Why not go tidal bore rafting on the fourstorey high tides of the Bay of Fundy? Halifax is the capital of Nova Scotia and known as one of the safest cities in North America. With its five universities and 35.000 students, Halifax is one of the five “smart cities” in Canada. It is also a vibrant city with lots of festivals, culture, and a pulsating nightlife.
