LUNENBURG TRAVEL GUIDE | 18 Things to do in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada
If you're into photography and you're looking for some cool photo ops Tannery road just before you hit the golf course is where to get the classic shot. But even if you're not into photography and you just want to enjoy a pretty sunset this is a nice spot and there's an area where you can park your car.
And for anyone interested in where we stayed i booked us a room at the mariner inn which is actually spread out across several buildings in the center of town. Our room was in the cranberry suites which is the bright fuchsia building over here i like that we were smack dab in the heart of Lunenburg.
And we could walk everywhere plus they also had a really nice breakfast that was served in the sun room in the main building. However my favorite part of this inn was riding the nautical slash underwater themed elevator complete with the whale and octopus - it's the little things.
And that is a wrap for our Lunenburg travel guide. It's crazy to think we did all of that in one day but yes it is possible. We stayed in town for an additional three days so we'll be sharing some fun day trips to Mahone bay , Lahave islands and more. If you enjoyed this video we invite you to give it a like hit that subscribe button and join us for the rest of our road trip across Nova Scotia. See you on the road.

BUOY = BOY or BU-OI or BOO-EE? Let's settle this debate! 🤪💦
Boo-ee. East Coast pronunciation 👍🏻
Boo-ee. From New Joisee.
BOY..........as in buoyancy or buoyant, which is where it comes from........jeez!
BU-OI
@@blankchannel1881 so, pronounced "bu-oi-ant" for "buoyant" or "buoyancy"? Just interested to check the different dialects....
as someone who grew up in lunenburg, to anyone planing a trip there, make sure you visit J3 pizza when in town. J3 has some of the best pizza you'll ever have! thank you so much for letting me see my town again!
Thanks for the tips! Would love to try the pizza next time.
j3 pizza sucks it’s crust has 0 taste
just get the mikes quick way pizza
I actually have the great pleasure of living in this beautiful town. My children were fortunate to attend the 1895 built Lunenburg Academy, the ‘castle on the hill’. (Now our town library and a Musical Arts Academy). 🥰🇨🇦✨
That is amazing to hear Stacy! What a beautiful town. Maybe the nicest we've seen in all of Canada.
As a Lunenburg resident, thank you for visiting and sharing our town’s beautiful sights, locations and activities. One recommendation for anyone who wishes to learn more about Lunenburg’s history is to visit the Knaut-Rhuland House Museum on Pelham Street. A museum interpreter can give you a personalized guided tour while walking through one of Lunenburg’s oldest houses (the museum).
Thanks for the very kind words. I love hearing from ‘out of Towners,’ ,who find our small part of the world and take it in. Hope you enjoyed! Please come back!
Thanks Stuart! We just loved it!
Thank you for the history of the schooner on our dime! I am sure the service in the ice cream place at Lunenburg is 100% better than the gelato place by the Trevi fountain in Rome!
Changes of food variety is always a good way to enjoy any outing!!!!!
I totally agree! Thanks!
We were there in August and you really captured the charm of the historic community.😊
As a Haligonin, I’m very proud of our heritage and history.can’t spell but love our guests. Welcome!
Thanks! We had so much fun in Nova Scotia.
I’m from Lunenburg, and I’m glad to see a video of those who visit and share the amazing things the little town of Lunenburg has to offer. I work at the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic, I know this year was different, but I still hope your visit was a good one! Hopefully your time was good enough that it makes you want to visit again. Us Lunenburgers love visitors from all over! :)
Thanks Taylor! That is so cool to hear. We had a great visit and would love to return again someday.
I sure can't wate to visit Lunenburg

Lunenberg is such a cute fishing town. Everything is so picturesque. The sunset at the end was stunning. The maple rum sounded so delicious, I would love to try that out.

Just wanted to thank you for your video and for all of your recommendations.

As a matter of fact, we’re going back again next month! Lol! Thanks so much. ❤️

Beautiful photography of a very scenic town. Nice view of Zion Lutheran Church in your opening at 0:09. The street corner where the front door of the church is located was my Great (x5) Grandfather’s home in 1753.
Wow! That is fascinating to hear Rod.
Hermoso lugar. Muy lindas imágenes!! Excelente trabajo, me encantan sus vídeos. Saludos de Argentina!! 🙌🏻 🍻
Muchas gracias Nico!
เป็นการท่องเที่ยวที่ยอดเยี่ยม 👍🏻
:)
You guys are doing a really excellent job Vlogging your Nova Scotia tour. I'll definitely check out some of your other places when I get the time.
One thing you didn't mention is that the entire town of Lunenburg is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
My last last meal in Lunenburg was a pizza at the Salt Shaker Deli as well--so yummy.
Sometimes the boat tours offer a puffin tour to Pearl Island. It's about an hour out, half hour or so there and hour back but it is worth it for the birds. Lots Atlantic Puffins, Razorbills, Kittiwakes etc. The puffins are so colorful, like Lunenburg.
Looking forward to more of your Vlogs.
Thank you very much! Great point about it being a UNESCO Heritage town. Oh, going on a puffin tour sounds incredible. I've always wanted to see them up close. Next up is Mahone Bay!
👍beautiful
Thank you very much Anil!
Travelled up there from Florida 2 years ago, couldn't wait to see Blue Nose , only to get there and find out she was on the great lakes , it was truly dissapointing , however over all, had a great time in the region , can't wait to go again .
Lovely town,lovely people, great food and...Two of the best Tour Guides you could ask for...Keep it going guys xxxx
Thank you so much Paul 😁

Thank you so much 🙂
23:39 How delicious that taco looks! I would order that kind WITHOUT the onion, though.
Thanks Brady! Oooh...missing those! Hold the onions!
去过两次，非常喜欢这个小镇！
😶
Looks like a great time. Have never been further East than Quebec City. 👍🏻
THanks Japko! Highly recommend visiting!
Canada's on my bucket list and now I have to add this to it! I vlog about Sth korea..you guys are an inspiration to me! I miss bread here so that brisket sandwich nearly killed me!! So jealous!!
Thank you very much! That is great to hear. Hope you can visit Canada soon. Ah, we really miss South Korea.
Oh thanks again for another beautiful and inspiring video.
Nova Scotia now is really on my top list of travel destinations.
Funny thing: One of my grand-uncles (is this the correct term? brother of my grandfather) was Professor of Metallurgical Engineering at the Nova Scotia Technical College of Halifax after he and his wife emigrated from Latvia to Germany at the start of WW2 and then from Germany to Canada in the 50s. Later in the 70s they came back to Germany. As a child, Halifax (or Canada in general) to me was always "somewhere over the rainbow" 😀
Wow! That is such a cool story Enzio. Small world! Thanks for sharing that.
@24:15, Sam sings the theme from the "Ride of the Valkyries" from Wagner's "Die Walküre". I love it!
Hahaha...thank you!
Hola Audrey y Sam. Muy lindo vídeo y muy lindos lugares. Saludos desde Argentina.
Muchas gracias Ramiro!
Thank u
I absolutely love Lunenburg! If you ever have the opportunity to go for a sail on the Bluenose II out of Lunenburg, I highly recommend it!
Thanks Tracy! We'd just love to do that next time!
love to visit eastern canada too..😘
Great to hear Arbee!
Que emocionante, Audrey estás tomando un refresco de México, se llama jarritos de naranja y es de más de 50 años. Hermoso viaje. Saludos 🤗
¡Muchas gracias Lupita! Nos encantó ese refresco. ¡Muy deliciosa!
I think you guys have duplagangers in lunenburg you both have familiar faces. Great work guys
Thank you! Hahaha....that is funny to hear. We had a great time visiting.
Qué arquitectura tan colorida! qué lugar tan pintoresco. Y, como dice Audrey para sacar fotos espectaculares, casi como las de los paisajes de los rompecabezas (puzzles, creo que se escribe así en ingles.. 🤷🏻♀️). Otro hermoso video...
gracias mariela
Wish I had seen you guys filming around Picton Castle. I was still living onboard and I might have been able to give you guys a tour! :)
Thanks Marc! That is so cool to hear!
I bet beer is amazing 🥰
Thanks LeAny! It was great!
good luck
thanks
I am beginning to think a trip through Canada is needed. I would love to see Newfoundland. Growing up in Michigan I have been to Ottawa and Quebec seral times my family did week end trips. Living in South ga now that will take more than a weekend. As usually you did a great tour!!!
That is great to hear Rose! We're dying to visit NFL for the 1st time as well. Hopefully next year.
excelente video chicos, muy interesante nueva escocia, ojala un dia vuelvan y se manden un asadazo con Don Dani!!
Saludos desde Chile.
Muchas gracias Carlos!
What a beautiful place this is love to visit one day.........Sam and Audrey do you have any other cities in the Maritimes to do travel guides they are excellent how you present the cities
Thank you very much Effie! We'll have Mahone Bay, Lahave Islands, Peggy's Cove and Tatamagoush soon.
@@samuelandaudrey Those will be fun to watch and learn about
es el mismo nombre que la ciudad de Nueva Escocia?. Muy lindas imágenes y re interesante video . Muchas gracias
Wow
Thank you!
@Samuel and Audrey : All your videos are of great quality , what camera do you use pls ?
Hey! I like your content!
Does this town have something to do with Lüneburg in Germany? Saw your video about that town, too. 😀
when i drove for UPS they would send me here all the time, delivered packages to most of these little shops and tons of shipyards that took 15mins to find the office lmao
Wow, you must have had to be really patient trying to find those offices.
I have literally watched you guys travel the world. It’s amazing seeing you in my hometown.
I am perplexed though....
Does the rest of the world, not pronounce buoy as ‘boo-ee’?
Everyone I know does! 😂🤷🏼♀️
Thank you very much Sarah! LOL, maybe it is just Audrey....hehehe
@@samuelandaudrey In the UK it's /boi/ so you have to be careful if you say there's a /boi/ floating out at sea... it could be misconstrued!
Saludos saludos from Buenos Aires Che
Muchas gracias Angel!
Lovely video, as usual, and a lot of memories when I was there May 2019 !! Did you go to Peggy Cove and Swiss Air Disasters Memorial ? Greetings from CABA/Argentina !! LOL !!
Thanks Adrian! Great to hear about your trip. We got to visit Peggy's Cove. We'll have a video about that coming out soon.
There is another Memorial on the other side of the Bay close to Bayswater Beach. That is where you will find the Passenger list and where all the Remains are buried. Peggy’s Cove was just a Media Center. The actual work was being done on the other side . I was out on the water that night in a Fishing boat with Search and Rescue personal on board. It was a traumatic night for everybody involved.
The shots of Audrey at 25:12-25:14 and 25:18-25:20 are SO PRETTY indeed! So are the shots of the sunsets to follow.
Thanks Brady! The sunset shots from the other side of town are just spectacular.
너무 멋있어요 ^^
:)
FUN FACT: In the town of Lunenburg that where they film half of Syfy Channel Hit Series Stephen King's Haven was filmed. I truly loved seeing the iconic Town Hall but in the show it was a police station!!!
Fascinating to hear James!
@@samuelandaudrey Yes filming mainly takes place in Lunenburg and other cities like Halifax and Mahone Bay in certain areas. You definitely should check out the show its truly amazin and one of the best. Plus you get to see these amazing small town at it finest 😀👍🏾!!!
