City of Legends

One of Canada's oldest cities, St. John's serves as the capital and largest urban center in Newfoundland and Labrador, known worldwide as a top destination for oceanside vacations. A trip to St. John's reveals a city where history meets modernity, with innovative office buildings sitting right alongside colorful old houses and heritage shops. Encircling a picturesque harbor that once represented the hub of the world's cod trade, the city preserves its English heritage and provides a tranquil setting for laidback vacations. One of the most popular places to visit in St. John's is Signal Hill, where Italian inventor Marconi received the world's first transatlantic wireless message.
