St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador

One of the oldest cities in North America, St. John’s, Newfoundland, is where warm, friendly faces are waiting to welcome you to their eclectic town. Hike the rugged coast as you pass 10,000 year old icebergs, look into the depths of a striking fjord or dance a jig to the rhythms of an East Coast fiddler.
