St. John's Tours & Activities | Top Experiences in Newfoundland

St. John’s, located at the eastern tip of Canada, is a vibrant harbor city famous for colorful row houses, stunning coastal views, and a lively cultural scene. Its friendly locals, rich traditions, and unique blend of old-world charm and modern amenities make it a must-see destination for travelers looking to experience authentic Canadian hospitality on the edge of the Atlantic.

A Brief Look at the Past

Known as North America’s oldest city, St. John’s traces its roots back to the 16th century when European fishermen first settled the harbor. Through centuries of trade, exploration, and a handful of dramatic events, the city developed its distinct character—one that proudly honors its maritime heritage and storied past.

When to Go

The best time to visit is from June to September, when the weather is mild and festivals bring extra energy to the city. Spring and autumn offer fewer crowds but cooler temperatures, while winter draws those in search of peaceful snowy landscapes.

Is it easy to get around?

Yes, the downtown area is compact and walkable. For attractions a bit further out, taxis and local buses are easily available, making it convenient to explore at your own pace.

What local dishes should I try?

Don’t miss the chance to sample fresh seafood such as cod, mussels, and scallops. Traditional favorites include toutons (fried bread dough) and Jigg’s dinner, a hearty Newfoundland meal.
