About St. John's
St. John's: Atlantic Edge of the Canadian East
St. John's, the capital of Newfoundland and Labrador, sits on the Avalon Peninsula at approximately 47°N — making it one of North America's oldest and easternmost cities. The harbour, sheltered by Signal Hill where Guglielmo Marconi received the first transatlantic wireless signal in 1901, has defined the city for four centuries. George Street, a two-block strip in the downtown core, holds more bars per square foot than anywhere else in North America and anchors the city's famously gregarious nightlife. The brightly painted row houses of Jellybean Row along Gower Street are the city's most photographed streetscape.
Where to Stay in St. John's
Hotels cluster around Water Street and the harbour front, putting guests within walking distance of The Rooms provincial museum and the farmers market at Bannerman Park. Travellers arriving to hike Cape St. Mary's Ecological Reserve — a 170 km drive southwest — typically use downtown St. John's as a base.
Practical Tips
- Weather: Pack a wind layer year-round; fog rolls in frequently off the Grand Banks.
- Getting there: St. John's International Airport (YYT) connects to Toronto, Montreal, and Halifax daily.
- Driving: A rental car is practical for day trips to Witless Bay Ecological Reserve, 30 km south, where humpback whales feed from June through August.
