Top Activities |
 |
Railway Coastal Museum
Hop on and discover what it was like when the only way in and out of the city was by locomotive. The Museum's historic architecture and oxidizing copper roof also shouldn't be missed - the building echoes common characteristics seen in 19th century St. John's. |
 |
The Rooms
The province's state of the art cultural centre has it all. The Newfoundland Museum, Provincial Archives, and the Art Gallery of Newfoundland and Labrador are all housed in this magnificent structure, modeled after a traditional fishing shed. |
 |
Natural Environment
A famous whale and bird watching destination, there's a wide variety of species visible from the many cliffs and vantage points in St. John's - including the Signal Hill walking trail. |
 |
Grand Concourse Walkway
An extensive network of trails and urban walkways connect our many great attractions to historic sites and scenic natural areas featuring ponds, rivers and wildlife. To walk St. John's is to see St. John's. |
 |
Cape Spear Lighthouse National Historic Site
The most easterly point in North America and the oldest lighthouse in the province, this is the edge of it all... where a continent begins and the Atlantic Ocean drifts to eternity. Plus, since we have our own time zone, we're really in a world of our own. |
 |
The nightlife of George Street
With the most pubs per square foot in Canada, find your soundtrack in this legendary entertainment district. Traditional rhythms and foot-stomping tunes dance into the street. |
 |
Johnson GEO Centre
Go underground, literally, and walk among geological mysteries, some over 550 million years old. We think they still look pretty good for their age |
 |
Historic Downtown
Beautiful saltbox houses, acclaimed museums and galleries, fine dining, pubs and specialty shops pepper the narrow winding downtown core - including the oldest commercial street in North America. |
 |
Signal Hill National Historic Site
Standing guard over the capital city of St. John's, this is where Marconi received the first transatlantic signal in 1901. Talk about prime location, this strategic post also has a rich military history dating back 400 years. |
 |
Cultural Capital of Canada
We're colourful and content. Warm and welcoming. Fun and friendly. So much so that in 2006 we were recognized nationwide as the Cultural Capital of Canada... and we're only getting better... |
 |
The Fluvarium
We have a lot of one-and-onlys here - the Fluvarium is the only one of its kind in North America where Brook and Brown Trout can be viewed in their natural habitat. With an underground viewing area, go underwater without getting wet. |
