Sydney is a historic city on the east coast of Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia and the island's largest urban center. Known as the "Gateway to the Sea," it boasts its iconic landmark, the world's largest violin, and a vibrant waterfront. Once an industrial center focused on coal mining and steel, Sydney now thrives on tourism and culture. Visitors can explore the Cabot Trail, Fortress Louisbourg, and enjoy regional music and art.
