Destaques

Discover colourful streets, historic churches and a working Atlantic harbour on a self-guided 3 km walk through downtown St. John's. The route takes about 90–120 minutes at an easy pace, with highlights including Government House, the Colonial Building, Jellybean Row, Water Street and the National War Memorial. Signal Hill is featured in the stories and can be visited separately. GPS-triggered audio plays as you approach each mapped point, while a live route map shows where to go next. Download the tour before setting out for offline use, then start, pause or resume whenever you like. Explore outdoors at your own pace; there is no in-person guide, and entry to buildings or attractions is separate.

About St John's

St John's is the capital of Newfoundland and Labrador, a steep harbour city of painted row houses, lively pubs, sea cliffs and Atlantic icebergs.

St John's clings to the hills around a deep harbour on the Avalon Peninsula, entered through a narrow gap in the cliffs known as The Narrows. Fishing fleets from Europe used the harbour from the 1500s. Rows of brightly painted wooden houses climb the slopes, and Signal Hill above the entrance carries Cabot Tower, close to where Marconi received the first transatlantic wireless signal in 1901.
