I’m glad 🙂

When I lived in Fredericton in 2016, I paid 900$ for a big one-bedroom beside the capital complex. 900$ was considered "insanely expensive" by my friends whose rents were in the 600-700$ range. Crazy times we're living in. You're right about the historical district (aside for the markets, that's on George street), in the summers they have free movie screenings on the grass behind the barracks. Other events are in Officer's square (pride, free concerts, harvest jazz & blues, etc) at the corner of King and Regent. . You're totally right about visiting in the summer, thats when there are *some* things to do. Winters are brutal and best remedied with Picaroons Winter Warmer ale. Actually, that's all there really is to do in NB outside of the summer, eat (sea)food and drink micro brew. Fun fact about the capital city thing, during british colony era Saint John was supposed to be the capital city. They chose Fredericton instead because Saint John was susceptible sea invasions in times of war, which also explains why Saint John is so heavily fortified with historic sites like Carleton Martello tower, Fort howe, and Fort LaTour. I'm glad you liked it though. Fredericton sure is beautiful this time of year. Same with the heavily forested countryside, all those different coloured leaves in the valleys. Breath taking scenery on the drive from Fredericton to Saint John. Can you tell I'm a bit home sick? :P

Harriet and I were there in the summer of 2017. We have friends that live there. If you want a place to simply chill yet still enjoy the art exhibits and festivals, not to mention the tasty food. This is your kind of place. We're so glad you managed to visit it. It's so worth a return visit. Again, thank you for the wonderful memories we had of Fredericton. Sending you much love❤ from Richmond, Va. Harriet, Jim and Yuki 🐶 P.S. Happy Halloween ! Alina

Quebec City is by far the most affordable capital city. You can spend as little as $700/month for a decent one bedroom that still has some access to public transport, or $1100 for something closer to the city center which is walkable enough to not need a car. 3 bedroom houses can be bought for 300k to 500k. Some other expenses such as food is slightly above average, but not by much. School and daycare is extremely cheap (free until university, $4000/year for university, $7/day subsidized daycare). Cellphone plans and car insurance are also cheaper than canadian average.

As someone who has lived in Fredericton the majority of my life (and currently do), I can confirm that a lot of what was said in this video is very accurate. Fredericton is an excellent city, and it's definitely a hidden gem in Canada. However, it is definitely not the most affordable. Rent has SKYROCKETED here and the place I currently live in that I moved into in 2020 has risen by $600 a month in just 4 years, and my neighbors who just moved in pay $500 more than me (identical unit). You can rent a newly built townhouse in Calgary for cheaper than you can in Fredericton, so I would objectively say that Fredericton is not an affordable city. Compared to Vancouver and Toronto... yes, but compared to anywhere else in Canada... no. Great video overall!

I for one will likely add it as place to visit at either tail end of the busy season. Great video! Safe travels next.

I went to Fredericton for a weekend in December many years ago on business . I had a room at the Lord Beaverbrook Hotel right next to the river. Overnight it snowed and continued to snow all day. The river created a mist and all the trees had layer of ice. It was beautiful. I found the houses charming. Being a capital it's well maintained. I loved it. My customer recimmended a place for lunch called Joe's Diner. It was a long trailer with a counter and stools. I hope its still there. Thanks for the tour Alina.

The three last videos that you've shown, depicted three beaultiful towns of the Atlantic coast of Canada. It seems to me that this region of the country, along with the French portion, is the most attractive as far as urban landscapes and small towns are concerned. But I might be wrong. That is just a impression based on the videos alone and on the bias we tend to form towards smaller and more picturesque towns. But, obviously, large cities, as Toronto, have vantages that cannot be ignored. Can't wait for the next videos!

Wonderful! Every time I watched one of your videos I get stressed: what to do in Canada first......it is so huge and literally countless amazing places/nature to visit, not possible in 1 lifetime .......I do not know where to start, but my plan ( I think ) is to travel by ship from Amsterdam/Southampton ( it depends what cruises are available ) to Halifax and from there develop a further plan. Some days east coast and than take a flight to BC/Alberta. The cruise alone ( QM2 is an absolute dream ) is an adventure itself. Little bit depends on budget next year, otherwise I will take a direct flight from (AMS ) to Vancouver/Calgary and go fully for the mountains, lakes and forests. But as I said earlier you convinced me to visit the east, cooking brains at the moment 😱

Many locals have been priced out of the market; both real estate and rental in Fredericton due to folk coming from other provinces willing to pay much more not to mention the worst tenants' rights in the country. Problem is many locals do not have the options to go to another more "affordable" province; just some dump in Saint John.
