NOVA SCOTIA

Nova scotia
Nova Scotia is one of Canada’s Maritime Provinces, and is one of the smallest provinces in Canada.
When in Nova Scotia rent a car, no Uber here.
When you touch down in Halifax, Nova Scotia, first thing is first! Rent a car, it is approximately $80.00 CAD to taxi from the airport to Halifax, and about $80.00 CAD to rent a car for a day. Even if you feel you will only be using it for a day it is well worth it, as travel here can become quite pricey.

If you plan on stopping by Nova Scotia, you will probably at some point of another find yourself in Halifax. Make sure to enjoy and sample the rich seafood culture readily available all the way down Argyle street. As the world’s largest exporter of lobster, needless to say, ordering lobster based dishes is a must!
Nova Scotia takes great pride in not only it’s lobster dishes, but also it’s locally sourced oysters
Fresh! Delicious! Lobster!
I always say you can’t put a price on good food, but boy does Nova Scotia seafood come at a price! But the freshness and experience of locally sourced, fresh caught oyster, and lobster definitely leaves the palate craving more.
