St. John's, Newfoundland, the most easterly point in North America has its very own time zone, and being the closest province to Europe, St. John’s harbour is a safe haven for transatlantic travelers and a bustling commercial port.

Our historic downtown is home to George Street, the oldest street in North America, and we’ve been welcoming adventurers from all corners of the world for over 500 years.

   As visitors to St. John’s you may hear your share of tall tales and yarns as St. John's is a city rich in culture, and colourful tradition. As you walk through the winding alleyways of our vibrant downtown, you’ll encounter a colourful tapestry of experiences unfolding before your eyes.

Quench your thirst for adventure by hiking the dramatic coastline on foot, or taking a boat tour on the bay in search of close encounters with humpback whales, puffins, or icebergs (and maybe all three!).

   Unique architecture, Jelly Bean houses, beautiful vistas, and culinary pleasures, are just a few elements of an unique urban experience. Most memorable are the colourful characters who quickly become friends.
