Known as the “Hub of Nova Scotia”, Truro’s size, central location and historic downtown makes it a popular home-base for exploring the province and the world-renowned tidal phenomena of the Bay of Fundy.
On the edge of town visitors flock to the Truro Tidal Bore Viewing Visitor centre along the Salmon River to view the tidal bore that occurs twice a day as a result of the immense incoming Bay of Fundy tide.
Truro’s historic downtown is thriving with unique shops and dining. Inglis Street is a popular destination featuring a variety of specialty boutiques, while shops like the Nova Scotia Emporium and the Stanfield’s Factory Outlet are local shopping landmarks.
