Nova Scotia is a peninsula (about the size of Ireland) found on the east coast of North America. It was one of the first parts of North America settled by Europeans, with the first settlement, Port Royal established in 1605. Nova Scotia is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on three sides.

The province can be reached in many different ways: air, boat, train, ferry, and automobile. Because of its small size, Nova Scotia can be traveled quite quickly. Its scenic coastlines and varied attractions provide endless touring possibilities.
