no1birdlady Says: This historical old house shows how many of the houses here were converted to commercial use and then back to residential. It was built in apx. 1786. and was once home to a merchant, S. Sparrow, then was bought by Thomas Jost, a Halifax merchant. The family stayed here until...
no1birdlady Says: There is an interesting area of Sydney that has some of the old historical buildings which made up the original town. Cossit House is the home of a controversial Loyalist Anglican minister who came to start a new life in this British colony in 1786. He was the first rector...
jamiesno Says: Cape Breton is well know for its celtic celebrations and music. During my visit there was a festival ongoing but I didn't really get to see much of it. This would be a good time to visit the area when you have all these extra festivities on the go at the same time. Enjoy...
jamiesno Says: As you can see from the picture, Sydney has a nice waterfront walkway. If you are in the downtown area and want to go for a walk this will be nice.You will certainly get an Atlantic feeling from this. Enjoy the salt water air and there will probably be some cruise ships in...
Lisser Says: Fortress of Louisbourg (National Historic Site of Canada)Step back in time to 1744! Experience Louisbourg, a thriving seaport and capital of Ile Royale (Cape Breton Island).The Fortress of Louisbourg was one of the busiest harbours in North America andone of France's key...

Lisser Says: Rita MacNeil is a famous Canadian singer/songwriter from Big Pond, Cape Breton. She opened a tea house in her hometown. It's a very nice and fancy little spot- you can have tea, browse in the gift shop, and look at displays about her life and recordings.

The Bean Bank: Lunch in a coffee shop
no1birdlady Says: We had asked about a local place to have lunch downtown in Sydney and were told this was a good sandwich place. It was noon time and the place was full of locals including a lot of girls from a nearby girls school. It's basically a coffee shop but they also served a wide...
jamiesno Says: Goody's is located within the Cambridge Suites hotel. This place was very busy the day I was there. The atmosphere, staff and service where great. I really enjoyed my meal with some friends. Sizzling Steak Sandwichstriploin steak charbroiled to your liking. Served on a...
jamiesno Says: This resturant looks like a very old house that has been converted. It's historic looking from the outside and has plenty of character.The service and food were great at this place, I am sure you won't go wrong. They have a deck upstairs that is good as well if the weather...
Wabo's Pizza and Restaurant: Wabo's Pizza and Restaurant
Lisser Says: Dine and relax while enjoying a spectacular view of the waterfront. The pizza was different...but delicious!
Casino Nova Scotia: Casino Night
jamiesno Says: The casino in Sydney was as fun as casinos go if you don't gamble. A bunch of us got together and through in ten dollars each just to see our $300 or so go to about $600 or so and then down to $0.There are plenty of slots, black jack and a russian roulette wheel.
JohnnieZee Says: Smooth Herman's (WORST) -- A large, extremely noisy night club that caters to the 19-24 year-old crowd. Friday and Saturday nights are the worst, unless you like pushing your way through a throng of drunk 19-24 year-olds. S.H. usually has live entertainment on Saturday...
Crown and Moose: Crown and Moose
jamiesno Says: The Crown and Moose is a nice little pub located right within the Delta Sydney hotel. In the night times there would be good music and live bands on a couple of occassions. There was certainly no shortage of live music in Sydney during my visit.For lunch they also had an...
Smooth Herman's: Smooth Herman's
jamiesno Says: Smooth Herman's seemed to be the place to be in Sydney. It was very busy there all the time. On Thursday nights you can make your own fun with Kareoke.They also have live music there. Lot's of people and good times to be had!Just right across the street from Smooth Herman's...

mainiacgal Says: I wasn't in Sydney very long, only to spend the night.From what I saw it didn't have a happening night life, but there are bars you can play pool and stuff at.Remember: Legal drinking age here is 19.
jamiesno Says: This picture I provided here is not of Fortress Louisbourg. It's the waterfront at Sydney. I didn't make it to Fortress Louisbourg however I am going to try next time around. Here is just a quick description off of their web site.The community of Louisbourg with a population...
The Englishtown Ferry. It's...
Lisser Says: The Englishtown Ferry. It's one of the few remaining cable ferries in Nova Scotia. The ferry operates round the clock, and reservations are not required for this three minute crossing. The charge is $3.00 for non-residents. It's really something neat to see! It's just after...
Helpfulness
I obviously didn't do any boating on this trip but the yacht club was right next to the hotel at the waterfront so I thought I would take a picture.
They had some nice sailboats.
If you are a sailor and looking for services when in this area you should probably check out their web site and go from there.
Enjoy your trip!

Helpfulness
Favorite thing: Drive southeast to Fort Louisbourg, a late 17th century fort. After the British ran the French out of Nova Scotia, it became a British fortification. Now a 'living history' museum, in the summers local people live on-site and play historical characters in period costume. It's a great experience, one not to be missed if you're in the area.
