About The Port Of St Johns
St. John's, capital of Newfoundland and Labrador, ranks among North America's oldest settlements and wears its history openly along a working harbor framed by rocky headlands. Downtown streets such as Water and Duckworth are lined with heritage buildings in bright hues, including the famed Jelly Bean Row houses, now home to boutiques, galleries, and Irish pubs. The village of Quidi Vidi, tucked within the city, retains its own fishing-harbor character just minutes away.
Above the city, Signal Hill National Historic Site offers sweeping views of the Atlantic and the harbor entrance, with Cabot Tower crowning the summit and small wooden houses clinging to the cliffside below. The Rooms, a provincial cultural center, provides context on Newfoundland's history and art. Ships typically dock within walking distance of downtown, making the colorful old town and its harbor views easy to explore on foot.
Pavlus Recommendations
How our planners would spend a day in St Johns.
Hike Signal Hill Trail
Climb the short but steep path up to Cabot Tower for sweeping views of the Narrows and open Atlantic; a taxi or 25-minute walk from downtown gets you to the base.
Wander Quidi Vidi Village
This tiny fishing harbor sits just minutes from downtown by car or a scenic coastal walk, with weathered sheds, a small brewery, and a quieter pace than Water Street.
Photograph Jelly Bean Row
Stroll the candy-colored row houses along Gower and surrounding streets, then duck into the Irish pubs and galleries on Water and Duckworth for a taste of local life.
