Nova Scotia's famous and historic fishing and shipbuilding port of Lunenburg. UNESCO, The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, has named the Old Town portion of Lunenburg a World Heritage Site.
Considered to be the best surviving planned British colonial town in North America, you can still see the tall ships moored off the port and hear the smith’s hammer. Lunenburg’s harbour-side streets are lined with unique shops and award-winning restaurants that blend with the well-preserved and colourfully painted historic homes, much of it like a living museum from the 18th century.
