Unfortunately, I don't have too much information about Sydney, Nova Scotia.

When I was in Sydney last year the pier area was underconstruction. The city itself is a short 2-3 block walk from the pier. However, being a small city there wasn't all that much to see in the city itself. Most of the shore excursions offered here provided visitors a chance to go outside of the city.

I can tell you that when I went to Sydney we visited the Fortress of Louisbourg right outside of town. This is a Fortress with historical importance in Canada and its one of Canada's most ambitious projects to commerate its past. The Fortress is located in a strategic location and at different points in its history it has been controlled by the British and the French.

The Canadian government has poured millions of dollars into the project to reconstruct as much of the Fortress as possible based upon drawings that they have discovered as well as existing foundations that were found. Even after years of working on the project, it is only about halfway completed.

I will attach some pictures
