Klappentext
This new, thoroughly updated fourth edition of Bradt's Nova Scotia remains the most detailed guidebook available to this increasingly popular province in eastern Canada -- and the only one to focus exclusively on it. Brimming with insider knowledge and local insights from two resident travel writers, it delves deeper than any competitor to reveal the best of this fascinating province -- on and off the beaten track. And with increasingly frequent direct flights from cities such as Boston and New York, Nova Scotia is more easily accessible than ever. Salty waters pulse through the province's veins. Virtually surrounded by the sea, it boasts 4, 600 miles of coastline, superb seafood, a rich folklore steeped in sea-related superstitions and tales of buried treasure and a wealth of outdoor pursuits. Travelling here still feels like going back to a time when life's pleasures were simpler: shopping at a farmers' market or a roadside fruit stall, buying world-renowned lobster fresh off the boat at the wharf, or photographing the lighthouse flanking an old fishing village. Minimal light pollution enables superior stargazing, leading to the Acadian Skies and Mi'kmaq Lands becoming the first 'Starlight Tourism Destination and Reserve' in North America certified by UNESCO's Starlight Foundation. The Cabot Trail is one of the world's great coastal drives, while fall colours provide additional eye candy. A rich culture fuses First Nations (Mi'kmaq), Acadian and Celtic elements. It will be tough choosing between 28 provincial museums and interpretive centers, 13 National Historic Sites, six UNESCO-designated sites, a National Museum and dozens of community-based museums. Written for first-time visitors and seasoned travelers alike, Bradt's Nova Scotia oozes recommendations for B&Bs, wineries, empty beaches, remote villages, walking and cycling routes, plus top spots to see whales, moose and seals, while interviews with locals bring the destination to life. Fresh elements of this edition include an expanded food and drink section (reflecting a vibrant scene of craft micro-breweries, cideries and wineries, and seafood festivals), a new geopark and additional options for characterful accommodation (including geodesic domes with hot tubs and indoor bathrooms). Whatever your interests, Bradt's Nova Scotia has your trip covered!
