Fondly known as The Steel City, Sydney is Nova Scotia's third largest city and is a major industrial center on Cape Breton Island. Many visitors enjoy strolling along the historic Esplanade, a street parallel to the waterfront, to observe the monuments and plaques dedicated to some of the city's famous people and events. Also on the Esplanade, you can browse through the relics at St. Patrick's Church Museum, the oldest Roman Catholic Church on the island. For a look at the evolution of wooden dwellings, visit the 200-year-old Jost House to see an authentic cooking fireplace and bake-oven. If you want contemporary charm, enjoy the trendy shops and restaurants along the waterfront. Nearby attractions to Sydney include the Fortress of Louisbourg, Glace Bay Miners Museum, Cape Breton Highlands National Park, and the Alexander Graham Bell Museum.
