The lush river valleys of Saint John are so beautiful that they are called the Rhine of North America. Panoramic views of Saint John and the Bay of Fundy where twice daily, two billion tons of water (more water than in all the rivers on the planet) surge into the Bay, reward visitors to Carleton Martello Tower and Fort Howe.

The Uptown area of Saint John has numerous museums, galleries and historic sites. The New Brunswick Museum at Market Square; Barbour's General Store; Loyalist House; Saint John Jewish Historical Museum; and the Saint John Firefighter's Museum each offer a unique perspective on the heritage and culture of Saint John.

The Old City Market is the oldest of its kind in Canada. The market's ceiling is modeled after an inverted hull of a ship, a fitting design for a city that was once a leading shipbuilding center. Wander among stalls overflowing with fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, meat, cheeses, flowers and baked goods in the oldest continuously operating farmers market in Canada. For gifts and souvenirs, craft stalls offer a variety of handmade items.

Take time to kayak, bike, stroll and explore our busy seaport where Native, French, Irish and Scottish heritages meld seamlessly.
