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.
