St. John's

St. John's is a colorful, compact harbour city perched on the eastern edge of North America, where dramatic cliffs meet the Atlantic and history is visible on every street. Its steep, winding hill streets, iconic jellybean-coloured row houses, and lively waterfront give the city a distinct, photogenic character that mixes maritime heritage with contemporary arts and food scenes.

Visitors will find world-class museums, rugged coastal trails and historic military sites within minutes of downtown, plus easy access to wildlife boat tours and scenic provincial parks. Friendly local culture, frequent festivals and a calendar of summer events add warmth to cool, windy days and make St. John’s an inviting base for exploring Newfoundland and Labrador.
