Walk downtown: Fredericton's compact downtown, Garrison District and riverfront are easy to explore on foot.
Use the trail network: Paved multi-use trails follow the Saint John River and cross the old railway bridge, great for walking and cycling.
Rent a car for day trips: Buses are limited, so a car helps for trips to Kings Landing or the Bay of Fundy coast.

Drive carefully in winter: Snow and ice make roads slippery, so rent a car with winter tires and allow extra time.
Watch for wildlife on roads: Deer and moose can cross rural highways, especially at dawn and dusk.
Mind the ice: Sidewalks can be icy in winter, so wear boots with good grip.

Shop at the farmers market: Boyce Farmers Market on Saturday mornings is great for affordable local food and breakfast.
Enjoy free attractions: The Garrison District, riverfront trails and some galleries and historic sites have free entry.
Catch free summer events: Outdoor concerts and festivals in warmer months often cost nothing to attend.

Pack for cold winters: Winters are long, snowy and very cold, so bring a heavy coat, hat, gloves and warm boots.
Enjoy warm summers: Summers are pleasant and warm, so bring light clothes and bug spray for trails.
Layer in autumn: Fall brings colorful foliage and cool days, so pack sweaters and a light jacket.

Watch the changing of the guard: In summer, costumed soldiers perform ceremonies in the Garrison District.
Try local specialties: Look for fiddleheads in spring, maple treats and seafood from New Brunswick's coasts.
Experience bilingual Canada: New Brunswick is officially bilingual, so you will hear both English and French.

Attend Harvest Jazz and Blues: This September festival fills downtown with music; book rooms early.
Visit Kings Landing: This living history village west of town shows 19th-century life in New Brunswick.
Cross the walking bridge at sunset: The Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge offers great views over the river and city.
