Atlantic Canada Traveler Attractions
New Brunswick
Travel throughout New Brunswick, and its culture echoes from the past but sings in the present. Centuries ago, Acadians forged deep roots here, and these friendly and resilient people remain proud and full of joie de vivre (joy of living) – traits strongly reflected in today’s culture, festivals and museums. Add Aboriginal, Scottish, Irish and British Loyalist influences, and you’ve got a unique blend of cultures, which you can experience at any of the many celebrations throughout the province.
Newfoundland & Labrador
Our rich traditions, handed down through the generations in song, story and design, were formed by our natural and cultural environment and still inspire us today. You can experience this in many folk and theatre festivals, see it in the galleries and craft shops and taste it in the hilariously named foods, such as cod’s britches. Anywhere you go, the traditions will permeate your soul, and you’ll remember every experience long after you return home.
Nova Scotia
Since the arrival of the first Europeans in 1605, Aboriginal, French, English Scottish, German, Swiss, African and other cultures have blended together to create a unique identity. You can see our rich heritage at the Halifax Citadel, complete with an 18th Century Highland Regiment. At Louisbourg, Cape Breton you can tour a French 18th-century fortress and colony at North America’s largest historical reconstruction. Our traditions come alive in the hundreds of cultural, musical and theatrical festivals, and will enrich your Eastern Canada travel experience beyond measure! With all of this history, it’s no wonder there are two UNESCO World Heritage sites in such a small province!
Prince Edward Island
Even as the Gentle Island has grown into a vibrantly diverse province, it still can keep one foot in the present and the other in the past. Where else can a hand-painted sign on the side of a road be considered a store front? This down-to-earth philosophy can be found in community festivals and cultural events throughout the Island. This is one of the most relaxing yet varied holiday experiences you’ll ever have.
tourism New Brunswick is about a five-hour flight from the United Kingdom – closer to Europe than any other part of North America.
