Nova Scotia Travel Advice
🗓️ Best Time to Visit
There is a definite charm to visiting Nova Scotia in the winter, as it is achingly beautiful and delightfully low-key during this season. However, most people will probably want to come during the months of June to October as you will find everything open, and the roads are dry. Obviously, October has cooler weather, but the payoff is a breathtaking fall color display.
⚠️ Safety
Nova Scotia is generally safe to travel, but you should check the latest public health situation before visiting Nova Scotia. Travel Lemming encourages you to avoid international travel until such time as local public health authorities in both your country and your destination advise that travel is safe for you and the communities you will visit.
