Description
Just a short forty-five-minute drive from Sydney lies the historic Fortress of Louisbourg, a meticulously reconstructed French fortress that transports you back to the 18th century. As North America's largest reconstruction project, it is proudly operated and maintained by Parks Canada. The fortress vividly illustrates the life and culture of early French settlers, offering some of the most unique experiences on the island. Try your hand at firing an antique musket or learn how to operate a cannon just as they did 300 years ago! Additionally, there are tours available for tasting the renowned Fortress Rum.
When you embark on a tour of the Fortress of Louisbourg with Shuttle24, you'll find it easy to navigate the site at your own pace, with plenty of informative brochures and maps provided.
