Details About Sydney

Destinations » Atlantic Seaboard » Eastern Canada » Sydney


Nova Scotia is Latin for New Scotland, and you'll find the Scottish flavor thrives on the northern tip of Cape Breton Island, where Sydney is located. The brogue of ancient languages can still be heard in the seaside villages surrounding spectacular Cape Breton Highlands National Park, which is well worth a visit

Attractions

Visit the Bell Museum, located on 25 acres of landscaped grounds in the village of Baddeck, where Alexander Graham Bell, who invented the telephone at age 29, also made important contributions to medicine, engineering, agriculture, aeronautics, marine science, genetics, and teaching the deaf. Afterward, stop in the village to explore various gift shops or relax in a local café.

Activities

Board the beautiful 67-foot staysail schooner Amoeba for a sailing experience as unique and unforgettable as Cape Breton's Bras d'Or Lakes.

Currency

In Canada, the Canadian dollar (CAD) is the official currency. Credit cards are widely accepted, and often offer a good exchange rate. In all of Canada, a 7% Goods & Services Tax (GST) must be paid on all transportation, accommodation, restaurant meals and just about anything else you purchase, right down to a pack of gum.
