The capital of Newfoundland is easily explored on foot. Most of the sights are within a short distance of each other moving east along Water Street. Approaching by sea offers the best view of the harbour, in particular the steep cliff lined passage on the east side where pastel coloured old house cling to the rocks.

Murray Premises - At the west end of Water Street stands Murray Premises. Built in 1846, these rambling brick and timber frame buildings are the last remaining examples of the large mercantile and fish processing premises that were common on the St. Johns waterfront.

Newfoundland Museum - Illustrates the provinces history over the past 9,000 years. The prehistory of Newfoundland is illustrated with artifacts excavated locally. Focusing on colonial times, restorations range from humble fishing cottages to the elegant drawing rooms of early towns people.

The Waterfront - Tracing the edge of St. John’s waterfront, Water Street is the oldest public thoroughfare in North America. Dating to the late 1500s when trading first started in the town.  This street offers an array of colourful gift shops, art galleries, and some of Newfoundland’s top restaurants. Also along the waterfront is Harbour Drive, a great place to stroll or relax. Nearby George Street is the hub of the city’s nightlife.

Confederation Building St. Johns Signal Hill St. Johns

Cabot Tower - This building is at the top of Signal Hill began in 1897 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Cabot’s arrival. On summer weekends, soldiers in period dress perform 19th century marching drills, with firing of muskets and cannons. It was here that another Italian, Guglielmo Marconi, received the first transatlantic wireless signal in 1901.

Quidi Vidi Village - On the other side of Signal Hill, the weathered buildings of ancient Quidi Vidi Village nestle around a small harbour. Visitors can browse through the eclectic collection of antiques for sale at Mallard Cottage, dating back to the 1750s. Above the village, the Quidi Vidi Battery was a fortified gun emplacement built in 1762 to defend the entrance of Quidi Vidi Harbour.
