Moncton is one of the premier tourist destinations in Atlantic Canada, whether you?re looking for family fun, adventure or incredible scenery. Welcoming, dynamic and cosmopolitan, Moncton offers a friendly atmosphere and flourishing cultural scene.

The smaller Empress Theatre, located immediately behind the Capitol provides a venue for smaller productions.
Moncton is at the geographic centre of the Maritime Provinces and is historically the railway hub for the Maritime Provinces. Moncton - nicknamed the Hub City - is located in southeastern New Brunswick in the Petitcodiac River valley, along the north bank of the river at a point where it bends from a west-east flow to a north-south direction. The early Acadian settlers in the region named the area "Le Coude" ("The Elbow"). Moncton was originally at the head of navigation up the Petitcodiac River until a causeway to Riverview was built in the 1960's. MORE

Moncton's linguistic majority is English, however the city has an active
French-speaking Acadian minority population (30%), many of whom speak the Chiac
variant of Acadian French. The adjacent city of Dieppe is about 80% francophone
and has grown in part due to the ongoing rural depopulation of the Acadian
Peninsula and areas in northern and eastern New Brunswick. The town of Riverview
is heavily (95%) anglophone. About forty percent of the metropolitan population
of Moncton is bilingual; the only other major cities in Canada with this level
of bilingualism are Ottawa and Montreal.

A causeway built across the river to Riverview in the 1960s has significantly diminished the effects of the bore, but efforts are underway to have the causeway replaced by a bridge in order to restore the river flow.
Magnetic Hill is an optical illusion created by local topography as well as the site of a major tourism development, including the Magnetic Hill Zoo and a water theme park called Magic Mountain. Magnetic Hill also features a major outdoor concert site.
