About Jelly Bean Row

Jelly Bean Row refers to several streets in downtown St. John’s lined with small wooden houses painted in bold, varied colors that create a lively urban palette. Wandering these streets gives visitors a strong sense of local character and history, and many of the houses date back a century or more.

The area is best explored on foot — bring comfortable shoes for the hills — and it’s a short walk from the waterfront, cafés and shops. The vibrant façades are a magnet for photographers and a simple, joyful way to experience everyday life in the city.
