Saint John City Market
An indoor market built in 1876 with a roof shaped like an upturned ship's hull. It is one of Canada's oldest farmers' markets and a National Historic Site.
The City Market stands beside King's Square in Uptown Saint John. Its timber roof frame was built by shipwrights and resembles an upturned hull. It is designated a National Historic Site of Canada. Stalls sell fresh seafood, lobster, maple syrup, local cheese and dulse, a seaweed snack. There are also many food stalls and handicraft shops, making it a great place to enjoy a seafood lunch from the Bay of Fundy. The market is closed on Sundays and open on weekdays roughly 8:00 to 18:00. Admission is free, and it can be visited on foot together with King's Square and Trinity Church.
