If you’re coming to Saint John, you dock right at downtown. Get the walking map and follow it to see the highlights. This is a very hilly town and some of it has broken pavement. It’s a very compact downtown so it doesn’t take long to get anywhere
I enjoyed the following:
Loyalist house $5 cdn . It takes about 20 minutes to go through it.
Two Anglican churches are open and trinity is quite beautiful inside. Both are free.
Old city market… small but the building is the draw
The architecture is quite old and photogenic. Just walk a few residential streets, especially Germaine Street
Shopping is plentiful but expensive . I found the street vendors to have better prices and more handcrafted souvenirs. But if your American use a credit card for a better exchange rate.
They take cdn or US dollars for purchases
There is a great walking path along the harbour… you may see harbour seals. It goes all the way to the reversing rapids.
Overall a nice port for walking and browsing. The hills are everywhere but they are not steep.
Hope this helps
