CN Tower was for 34 years the tallest free standing structure in the world and the tallest tower. It's now one of the great Canadian landmarks that dominates Toronto's skyline. The CN Tower receives over 2 million visitors each year.

One of our favourite travel attractions are scenic drives, and if you ask motorists in Canada they tell you about the Cabot Trail, a 298 km (185 miles) long loop on the northern part of Cape Breton island in Nova Scotia.

If you ever travel to Cape Breton the must see destinations are the Cabot Trail scenic drive, Baddeck and Sydney, Nova Scotia’s third largest city. We went there on a nice Saturday drive and spent a few hours on the waterfront, marina and nearby park. As you walk through the city it becomes apparent that [...]

We love cars and we love driving, so it was quite a pleasant surprise to see a few American Classic cars during our Sunday drive on the Cabot Trail, an excellent driving road on Cape Breton’s highlands. If you’re anything like us you must drive the full length of the Cabot Trail, which is a [...]

The Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site Museum of Canada is one of the places you need to visit if you ever make it to Cape Breton. It's right near Baddeck, a small city on the coast of Bras d'Or Lake

On our way back from the Annapolis Royal Historic Gardens we chose to go back to Halifax via a detour so we'll get the chance to explore the Kejimkujik National Park and Historics site (a two-in-one unique combination). Plus we also like to drive.

Here in Halifax there's a saying that goes something like this: the best thing about Dartmouth is it's view of Halifax. To me this is a little mean, so I thought of investigating the claim by crossing the bridge to Dartmouth

Upon our continuous search for a quiet place to walk and breathe the fresh air we cam upon Shubie Park, an urban park that’s part of the abandoned Shubenacadie Canal (official site) which is still passing through the park. Shubie park is placed a few kilometres from Downtown Halifax, in the heart of Dartmouth, Nova [...]

If you even come to Nova Scotia for travel purposes don’t expect modernism. People here are in touch with the nature and almost all things you can visit and see here have something to do with the environment. Parks, lakes, beaches, forests and gardens are on your see list if you travel to Nova Scotia. [...]
