Activiteiten in St John's
Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to the heart and soul of Newfoundland!
This sleepy but charming port city is the oldest post-Colombian settlement, a place where fishermen used to set up bases during the harsh fishing seasons. Today, the city is packed with gorgeous, old-fashioned, vibrantly colored wooden houses and finely tuned stone mansions. With a plethora of things to do, St. John's is bursting with activities!Visitors wanting to get a general vibe of the city should take some time to follow the Self Guided Heritage Walk Loop.
This trail leads you to all the main central attractions of the city from the local City Market and Stone Church to the bustling George Street, an area where locals love to go party and enjoy their evening drinks.
Make sure to check out Christian's Bar, for some great local vibes and times! St. John's also boasts an important past. Once a vitally important city connecting wirelessly the New World to the Old World,
the city has numerous landmarks such as Signal Hill Tower the St. John's Point Lighthouse and the Johnson Geo Center, which today echo its heritage. But St. John's doesn't stop here. If you like scenic fishing villages and dramatic rugged coastlines, then make sure to explore Petty Harbour (just a 20-minute drive from the city) and Quidi Vidi (just 5 minutes away) where you can chill out at the local brewery and enjoy the famous frosty Iceberg beer. St. John's outskirts are perfect for nature lovers where travelers can see cool and calm nestled bays, untouched wildlands and alluring, lavish local marine wildlife.
If you're planning a spring-break trip, make sure to keep an eye out for passing icebergs, elegantly floating in the nearby waters, or if you're feeling adventurous, hop on a boat and take a closer look!
