Walking Saint John from the cruise port
Self-guided routes from Port Saint John to Uptown, the City Market, and optional Reversing Falls on foot.
Terminal to City Market
Exit toward Terminal Street and King Street — follow signs Uptown. The City Market is a logical first stop for orientation, food, and restrooms.
Uptown heritage loop
Circle Trinity Royal, Kings Square, and Prince William Street. Allow 90–120 minutes for photography and market browsing on a four-hour call.
Walk to Reversing Falls
Possible for fit guests — busy roads and elevation. Many prefer a short taxi and save walking time for Uptown. Check tidal timing before committing.
Return discipline
Set a phone alarm 90 minutes before all-aboard. Walking gives maximum control — see one-day itineraries.
