How do I get there ?
Nova Scotia is easily accessable by Air, Sea or Land.

An international airport is located just outside the capital city of Halifax.  There is also an airport located in Sydney which services the island of Cape Breton.

Several ferry services operate in Nova Scotia, offering connection to the United States eastern seaboard (Bar Harbour and Portland, Maine), and New Brunswick (Saint John), Prince Edward Island (Wood Islands) and Newfoundland (Port Aux Basques and Argentia).

Nova Scotia is connected to mainland Canada at the New Brunswick border.  Travelling the Trans Canada Highway east from New Brunswick will enter Nova Scotia in the Amherst area... from here it is roughly a 2.5 - 3 hour drive to the capital city of Halifax.

Passenger rail service is provided by VIA Rail, with stations in Truro and Halifax.
Visitor Information Centres
