Travel Newfoundland and Labrador

The easternmost city in North America grew up around a tiny, perfect harbour that European explorers discovered almost 500 years ago. Its been an active strategic port for countless US Navy ships. Today, in this historic seaport you can hop a tour boat to see whales and icebergs outside the harbour, and view the rugged coastline, including Cape Spear National Park, the most easterly point in North America. Your can enjoy hard days and soft nights with relaxing spas to comfort your mind body and soul after a day of inspiring nature and beauty. St. John's goes about its business at its own pace against a backdrop of stunning architecture, winding hills and colourful houses. The old downtown is compact enough to explore on foot and is full of boutiques, bars and artisan galleries and shops. The arts scene is thriving with music, theatre, dance, visual arts and traditional crafts pouring out a steady - and heady - infusion of cultural interpretation and expression. Don't-miss sites include The Rooms, the province's iconic home of history, art and culture, and Signal Hill's Cabot Tower crowning the panoramic view of the city and Atlantic ocean; and the Johnson Geo Centre which uses the province's abundant geological wonders to tell the story of the whole planet. Whether it's a weekend getaway or a week-long stay, the city is a great introduction to the province.

Outside the city rural Newfoundland and Labrador is waiting to be explored. Hundreds of picturesque fishing villages, two UNESCO World Heritage Sites - Gros Morne National Park for its scenery and geology and L'Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site, where the Vikings set up shop 1,000 years ago - bird colonies, historic sites, theatre and music festivals, and much, much more await. Come let some of the friendliest folk on the planet welcome you to Newfoundland and Labrador.

"Location, as the old saying goes, is everything, and so it is with Newfoundland and Labrador. Canada's easternmost province was the first place in the New World to welcome Europeans - the Vikings who came this way 1000 years ago and left behind the remnants of s sod hut village that is now a celebrated UNESCO World Heritage Site. There is archaeology sites dating back older than the pyramids. Gros Morne National Park, with mountains 20 times older than The Rockies, sand dunes, moose, fjords and cultural events like the theatre, writers and music festivals, is our second UNESCO Site. This province is the best place on the east coast to see whales and icebergs - often at the same time, and look up...a blizzard of seabirds swirls overhead. And we are known for having a good time. St. John's, the capital and main port,is also awash in music, lots of very fine restaurants with fare from around the bay and tastes from around the world. Hiking, sea kayaking, meeting our folk and exploring thousands of miles of coastline and its villages - which we call outports - are all awaiting your visit!" Canada Promotions
