Lots of people come to Nova Scotia and spend their whole time in Halifax. Don't get me wrong: Halifax is a GREAT city, but Nova Scotia has so much more to offer! And it's easy to see it all.  And after you've seen Nova Scotia it's time to hit the rest of the East Coast Provinces: Newfoundland & Labrador; PEI and New Brunswick.

If you would rather keep away from group tours and see things on your own, with bus service and shuttle services, car or bike rentals and, yes, even hitching, you can easily get from one end of the province to the other and really get to experience Nova Scotia.

Make plans to stay with all of these great hostels around Nova Scotia:
