Cities | New Brunswick / Nouveau Brunswick Canada - Maritime Magnifique!

Roll up your trouser legs and take a morning stroll on the saltwater beach, before you go exploring on the local Heritage Walk or enjoy the many scenic trails running through the city. Be sure to make room for our tantalizing seafood for a true Maritime dining experience. 

Nestled at the mouth of the beautiful Restigouche River, Campbellton is the perfect place for a reflective waterfront stroll and a hot spot for outdoor activities such as kayaking, canoeing, fishing, hiking and bird watching. Also conveniently located close to Sugarloaf Provincial Park.

Located at the convergence of the Acadian and Fundy Coastal Drives, there’s always something to do in Dieppe. Explore the bustling Dieppe Market, shop at Champlain Place, or hit the rides at the Crystal Palace amusement park.

Edmundston’s rich cultural history and unique French heritage come together between sparkling rivers and mountains weathered by time. Cycle the Petit Témis trail, tour the Fortin du Petit Sault Blockhouse or let romance bloom at the New Brunswick Botanical Garden.

Katie FitzRandolph's Trip Tip

The St. John River is an obvious focal point for Fredericton, but what is really wonderful is how accessible it is. You can walk along the river on both sides where it passes through the city. Even better, take a bike and explore the trails between Island View and Lincoln on the south side and take the walking-bridge trail on the north side. As the seasons change, you are greeted by emerging leaves, early wildflowers, fields of lupins, sun-soaked grasses, or brilliant autumn foliage. The scale of this place makes it a joy to get around, either on foot or on two wheels.

 

“Fredericton is a joy on two wheels…”

 

Our Riverfront Capital is rich in heritage, culture and natural beauty. Once a British Garrison, now tree-lined avenues lead to 70 km (43 mi.) of riverside trails connecting historic and cultural sites like the Historic Garrison District, the Beaverbrook Art Gallery and Old Government House.

A bust of Lord Beaverbrook sits prominently in the square on the Newcastle side of the City. It reads, “Great Achiever – Great Benefactor – Miramichi.” His love is evident, his ashes having been interred facing the river, September 25, 1964. Max Aitken grew up in Newcastle, and upon accepting his peerage, his name choice was “Lord Beaverbrook” in reference to a nearby community, after considering the more difficult to pronounce “Lord Miramichi.” He kept his Miramichi “drawl” over the years. Beaverbrook House is open for visitors.

 

“Lord Beaverbrook’s influence still evident…”

 

Situated along the world-famous salmon-angling river, best moments in Miramichi include touring the historic houses, cycling the spectacular 88 km (55 mi.) Miramichi Valley Trail, joining a foot-stomping kitchen party, and experiencing a Mi’kmaq powwow.

On the corner of Church and Queen Streets in downtown Moncton there is a moment when even the casual traveller can reach out and touch the soul of the city. For it is in this place that one can see in close proximity, on three corners, three similar late Gothic-Revival churches, all built within 20 years of each other (1915-1935). Looking at these splendid architectural structures, we can appreciate a time before the homogenization of buildings. We can also comprehend that there was then in Moncton, as now, a common understanding of what is valuable and beautiful.

 

“Pause and take in our architecture…”

 

Moncton is not only an easy drive to nine of New Brunswick’s top destinations (including the awe-inspiring Bay of Fundy), it takes only a few minutes to walk from downtown bars, bistros, shops and hotels to a vast expanse of flora and fauna along the Trans-Canada Trail.

Hundreds of visitors to Saint John step back in time with self-guided walks, strolling the streets of historic uptown Saint John. Stately buildings, intricate brickwork and stylish carvings tell the story of Saint John’s past. Colourful characters come to life, turning a simple stroll through Trinity Royal Preservation Area into one of Canada’s best Victorian experiences. The gong of Trinity’s clock tells you just how long you can linger over the sights and sounds before its time to give in to the tantalizing aromas of nearby bistros and pubs.

 

“Stroll where colourful characters come to life…”

 

Drop anchor in this spirited port city with views carved by the Bay of Fundy One of the Marine Wonders of the World. Shop ‘til you drop in local boutiques, visit the historic Old City Market, or browse our many art galleries.
