Enjoy the downtown centre by foot and visit the oldest continuing farmer’s market in Canada – The Saint John City Market - where a daily bell rings to begin and end the business day. Visit the Imperial Theatre, a grand century-old building and take in an event or concert. Stop at the Reversing Falls Bridge if you’d like to take in the experience of the tide changes again.
