Halifax (Nova Scotia)

Learn about the formation of World War II convoys which gathered here to run the gauntlet of U-Boats across the Atlantic and the gun ship collision during World War I which caused as catastrophic explosion and flattened the city. Another interesting spot to visit is the graveyard of the victims from the Titanic disaster which were recovered by the local fleet. Beyond the city, you can discover the weather-beaten landscape of Nova Scotia's south shore. See craggy coastlines, and the German village of Lunenburg - a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Sydney (Nova Scotia)

Sydney was founded in 1785 and named in honour of Britain's Home Secretary at the time, Thomas Townsend, 1st Viscount Sydney; a few years later, Sydney, Australia would also be named after him. Sydney's original settlers included former soldiers and Loyalists escaping the chaos following the American Revolution.

The town was the English capital of Cape Breton Island from its founding until 1820, when the island colony and its rich coal fields became part of Nova Scotia. It was that coal that would transform Sydney from a colonial town in Cape Breton into a major industrial centre, becoming a world leader in steel production.

That industrial growth saw Sydney officially become a city in 1904, welcoming workers and their families from around the province and world. Today, Sydney continues to welcome people from around the world as they come to visit the city and the beautiful island of Cape Breton.

Prince Edward Island

Canada's smallest province is an island that seems to be tethered to New Brunswick by the 8-mile-long Confederation Bridge lest it drift into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Leave the mainland, cross the bridge, and make a right for Charlottetown. With red-sand beaches, lighthouses and an interior of fertile farmland, it's nicknamed "Garden of the Gulf." It's renowned for its seafood, notably lobster and mussels. Charlottetown, the relaxed capital, is home to 1847 Province House, birthplace of the nation of Canada. Here you will find Victorian architecture, an abundance of parks and a bustling harbour. Walk the cobblestones of Victoria Row, see the house that inspired "Anne of Green Gables," or explore the wild shore of Prince Edward Island National Park.

Downtown is known for its colourful row houses. Above the city is Signal Hill with walking trails and the site of the first transatlantic wireless communication, Cabot Tower, which commemorates John Cabot's discovery of Newfoundland.

Portland (Maine)

Portland is perched on a peninsula, jutting out into the island-studded Casco Bay. This city of 230,000 people is a progressive, lively city incorporating the character of yesteryear into a modern urban environment. Historic architecture blends gracefully with the new as you stroll along her working waterfront or the cobblestone streets of the restored Old Port section of the city.

Boston

Boston is home to the 400-year-old Harvard University, the Boston Tea Party, Cheers and Ally Mc Beal! The central area of Boston is called Back Bay where you will find the Copley Plaza shopping area, Boston Common, Faneuil Hall Marketplace and Beacon Hill. Beacon Hill runs along the north edge of Boston Common and is home to the original pub called Cheers.

Faneuil Hall Market place is the bustling centre of Boston with Quincy Market which looks rather like Covent Garden in London. Here you will find lots of shops, bars and restaurants including the famous Irish pubs. Also in this area you will find The 18th Century Schooner Liberty used in the uprising against the British, The Boston Aquarium and the site of the original Boston Tea Party which triggered the American War of Independence.

The best way to the learn the most about this historic centre of the USA is to follow the two and a half mile long Freedom Trail. This was the very route that Paul Revere took to warn of the British invasion of the city.
