One of the most user-friendly sites n the tourism genera is Nova Scotia’s Official Tourism Site. From the first click the site lets you adjust the text size and choose between three languages: English, French and German. The next handy item on the page is showing the events going on fo the time of the year. For example if you clicked on in the fall wanting to know what’s going on in Nova Scotia you would be given these options:

Leaf Watch: The site lists what is going on under this heading in chronological order. Almost every day there are “leaf sightings” that tell the travelers just getting where to go for the next burst of autumn color. Why is this important? Well, if you are here to view the autumn leaves - like tens of thousands of people do - you want to be on top of things because a few hours of a stiff autumn wind and many of them disappear before you can get your camera out. And if you do miss them you can find posted images of what the scenery looked like on a certain day.

Fall for the Arts: This link tells you where to find some of Nova Scotia’s premier arts spectaculars like Drum, Celtic Colours International Festival, the Atlantic Film Festival and Halifax Pop Explosion.

In other parts of the site you can information on how to plan a trip to Nova Scotia complete with a phto tour and photo gallery.

Whenever I’m asked about what to do in Nova Scotia I always send people to this site. This is because it is so self-explanatory and for me to try and look up everything they want would take me hours. I have done that for years and after a while it gets pretty old. Oh, not Nova Scotia, just the process of trying to make sure these fine people get the most out of their trip. Now, the guess work is gone. I just direct them to this site.

So even you don’t plan on coming here for a while give the site a spin and get used to the hndreds of options.
