St. John's Essentials

St. John's, North America's oldest city, centers around its historic downtown and the dense nightlife of George Street. Cultural hubs like The Rooms house provincial history and art, while the mid-19th-century Basilica of St. John the Baptist and the Anglican Cathedral showcase distinct ecclesiastical architecture. Significant landmarks include the Terry Fox Mile 0 Site and the National War Memorial. Along Water Street, the continent's oldest commercial thoroughfare, boutique shops and heritage buildings reflect the city’s deep maritime and rail history.
