About Saint John

What to know before you book

Saint John (always spelled out — never abbreviated to avoid confusion with St. John's Newfoundland) is Canada's oldest incorporated city and a major port on the Bay of Fundy. The Reversing Falls (where the St. John River reverses flow during Bay of Fundy high tides) is the city's most famous natural phenomenon.

The Uptown (Saint John's term for its downtown) has beautifully restored Victorian commercial architecture, a vibrant restaurant scene, and the historic City Market (one of Canada's oldest — operating since 1876). The city is also a major cruise ship port during summer.

Insider Booking Tips

Save money and stress when booking hotels in Saint John

🎯 Saint John Hotel Booking Tips
  • 🌊
    Reversing Falls timing matters — The Reversing Falls (where tidal power forces the St. John River to reverse) is most dramatic during peak tidal change. Check the tide table at the Reversing Falls Visitor Centre to time your visit correctly.
  • 🏛️
    City Market since 1876 — Saint John City Market (on King Street) is one of Canada's oldest and most atmospheric covered markets — operating continuously since 1876. Dulse (dried seaweed), local produce, and Maritime crafts make excellent purchases.
  • 🚢
    Cruise ship visitor surge — Saint John receives significant cruise ship traffic (May–October). On cruise days, the Uptown and Reversing Falls area are very crowded. Check cruise schedules via the Port of Saint John.
Frequently Asked Questions

Hotels in Saint John, New Brunswick

❓ Is Saint John the same as St. John's?
No — Saint John (New Brunswick) and St. John's (Newfoundland) are completely different cities. Saint John is in New Brunswick on the Bay of Fundy and is always spelled out. St. John's is in Newfoundland and is the easternmost city in North America. The confusion is common — always specify the province when booking.
