Nova Scotia is the land of lighthouses and lobster traps: throw a dart at the map and you'll likely hit one or the other. But there are inland highlights, too, like sylvan orchards and dramatic highlands. If you're looking for urban amenities, the capital—hip, historic Halifax—is the largest city in Atlantic Canada and has the region's broadest range of dining and nightlife options.
