Where to Stay in Fredericton

Fredericton is a highly walkable city, but choosing the right neighborhood drastically changes your experience. The Downtown core is the undisputed heart of the city, perfectly suited for those who want to be in the middle of the action. Staying here puts you moments away from the Garrison District’s evening concerts and the bustling Saturday morning Fredericton Boyce Farmers Market. It is the ideal choice for first-time visitors and business travelers alike. For a more storied experience, the Heritage Southside district offers a glimpse into the city's past. Characterized by beautiful architecture and tree-lined streets, this area is perfect for travelers who prefer boutique B&Bs and intimate guesthouses. If you prefer the outdoors, seek out accommodations near the Northside river trail; this area offers a more relaxed vibe and direct access to the expansive Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge, making it a favorite for active couples and families. Finally, the area surrounding the University of New Brunswick (UNB) provides a youthful, energetic atmosphere with easy access to the Odell Park trails, one of the finest urban forests in Canada. Whether you are looking for urban convenience or a quiet retreat tucked away in a century-old home, Fredericton’s distinct neighborhoods ensure you are never far from the city's signature blend of culture and natural beauty.
