about attractions and accommodation reservations.
George Street
This is the center of energy for the nightlife in the
city of St. John’s. Take your pick of taverns and pubs
or simply hop from place to place along the famous cobblestone
street. Flavors and atmospheres vary from each establishment
from quaint and dimly lit to pulsating and animated.
A great meal is also a sure bet with something to satisfy
any craving. Take advantage of warm temperatures and
light breezes as you take in the sights and sounds of
the city on any of the outdoor patios.
The
Fluvarium
An educational experience is sure to be had upon visiting
this facility. These “windows on a stream” provide an
in-depth look into the lives of many freshwater creatures
that live in Nagle’s Hill Brook. By constructing glass
panels under the water, the public is able to view the
cycle of life as it takes place in its natural habitat.
Cabot Tower
One of the most renowned attractions in Newfoundland
sits on Signal Hill. Cabot Tower was built to commemorate
the discovery of the Province and has been used over
the years for many reasons. Marconi received the first
trans-Atlantic wireless message in 1901 at a point near
the tower. Now a historical park, visitors will be rewarded
with fabulous views of the city and an appreciation
for the history upon which St. John’s was founded.
Cape Spear National Historic Park
The most easterly point in North America, Cape Spear
was used by U.S. troops to observe German submarine
activity during World War II.
O’Brien’s Whale and Bird Tours
A family operated business, the O’Brien’s were raised
on the ocean and they, along with their staff, will
give you your money’s worth as you sail out to see the
largest Puffin colony in North America. If you’re lucky
and it is the right season, you may get to see Humpback
Whales or gigantic icebergs as well.
