I take it you're landing in Halifax? Plenty of good places to hear music before you travel anywhere if that is your fancy. You could try the Split Crow or The Fyfe and Drum or the Lower Deck or The old Triangle and that's just off the top of my head.

Sites to see are the Citadel, all kinds of water related tours from the Halifax Harbour. Go on the harbour Hopper. Not to mention Cape Breton, the Valley, Lunenbourg and Mahone Bay and The Fortress of Louisburg.

Breezy get in touch with NS Tourism TIANS here and request a copy of the Doers and Dreamers Guide, its full of great information. Good luck
