St. John's

The harbour city of St. John's, the capital of Newfoundland and Labrador, welcomes you with a unique blend of maritime history and vibrant culture. Here you'll find North America's oldest English settlement, its charm reflected in the colourful houses of "Jellybean Row". Visit the Signal Hill National Historic Site, from where Guglielmo Marconi received the first transatlantic radio signal, and enjoy panoramic views over the city and the sea. The cultural centre The Rooms offers insights into regional history and art. For an authentic experience of the former fishing village, a trip to Quidi Vidi is recommended. The best time to visit is summer, to avoid the often foggy days and experience the festivals.
