Before you go: Fredericton tips

Transportation

  • 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.

Security

  • 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.

Saving

  • 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.

Weather/Clothing

  • 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.

Cultural

  • 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.

Local Hacks

  • 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.
