Lunenburg, Coastal heritage town in Nova Scotia, Canada
The town features rows of colorful wooden buildings arranged in a rectangular grid pattern along streets that slope toward the Atlantic harbor.
British colonists established Lunenburg in 1753 as part of their strategic effort to settle Protestant families in Nova Scotia.
The Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic contains exhibits about local maritime traditions, fishing methods, and vessel construction throughout four centuries.
Visitors can reach Lunenburg by taking Highway 103 from Halifax, with regular bus services connecting both cities throughout the day.
The Bluenose II, a wooden schooner that continues the legacy of the original racing vessel, docks at the Lunenburg waterfront during summer months.
