North America's oldest city clings to steep hills above a narrow harbor on the eastern tip of the continent. Icebergs drift past in spring, humpback whales breach in summer, and George Street's pubs keep the music going year-round. St. John's combines rugged Atlantic landscapes with a warmth and humor that visitors remember long after they leave. Hotel rates are moderate by Canadian standards, though summer availability tightens fast.

Downtown and George Street

St. John's downtown is built on steep hills overlooking the harbor. Jellybean Row houses paint the streets in bright yellows, reds, and blues.
