What travellers are saying
- mickey448Prince George, Canada210 contributionsThis was a great place to visit. Lots of history. There's accessible paths to get to the Cabot Tower too. Amazing views to enjoy as wellWritten September 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Mike from Rival TownNiagara Falls, Canada1,115 contributionsThis place was definitely always live! So much going on with a lot of fun people. We always enjoyed walking through here and drinking. It reminds me of Hess Village back in Hamilton, ON except way better!Written June 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA18,855 contributionsOne of the best attractions in town. You will find many streets that are lined with wooden row houses that are painted in different bright colors. We once rented a tourist apartment in one of them. Be prepared to climb steep hills. Great opportunity for colorful photos.Written August 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Robert DBrooklyn, New York5,058 contributionsQuidi Vidi Village was once a fishing village, but now it is a neighbourhood in St. John's. It is a scenic spot to go for a walk. The Quidi Vidi Gut connects Quidi Vidi Lake with the Atlantic Ocean. Note the many fishing boats. I walked around the village to the Quidi Vidi Village Residents Memorial Park and saw beautiful Wild Roses.Written October 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Robert DBrooklyn, New York5,058 contributionsI took a bus to the Terry Fox Monument. Terry Fox is one of Canada's greatest inspirational heroes. He was born the same year as I was, but in 1977 was diagnosed with bone cancer. He lost a leg to that cancer and he wanted to raise money for cancer research. He decided to run across Canada in what he called "The Marathon of Hope". Mile Zero is in St. John's. The monument stands at the spot where he began his journey. Unfortunately he was unable to complete his cross-country race. His cancer returned and he died in 1980 at age 22.Written October 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Justtravelling4Halifax, Canada351 contributionsWe stopped in here on our tour around of St. John's. It is next to the brewery and a quaint little spot that sells local products and crafts. The view and area are also worth the visit, it is so pretty here.Written September 2, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA18,855 contributionsWe found this very large statue and memorial a we walked around downtown, and especially on Water Street. It notes the several big wars where residents of the Province fought and died.Written August 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Robert DBrooklyn, New York5,058 contributionsI went inside Government House, built in 1831. It is the official residence of the Lieutenant Governor. The Main Hall is quite impressive.Written October 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Rae Rae C299 contributionsIt is pretty cool to see where the « TCH » or highway 1 begins as well as to get the perspective of how long it is and the major cities between St John’s NL and Victoria BC. There ain’t much here but was something I really wanted to see while in NL. The trans Canada highway is so important to Canada as a nation.Written July 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rainnie2015St. John's, Canada42 contributionsThis Gallery has a great variety of art with a great owner who is very knowledgeable of the work she has to offer. She is an easy to deal with lady that also gives back to the community. Great place to find that special piece of art your looking for.Written January 11, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- EJW3Southold, NY720 contributionsWe toured the House of Assembly with Clair. She was very friendly, knowledgeable and informative, and we learned a lot about the history, culture, and politics of Newfoundland and Labrador. During our tour we had the good fortune to by chance meet Minister Davis and Premier Ball. They were both extremely friendly, welcoming, and kind, and made our tour extra special and memorable!Written July 30, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Courtney104 contributionsI visited a few art galleries in St. John’s and this one was my favorite. Really great selection of art and artists. Definitely stop by!Written September 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- NHjoSaco, ME14,919 contributionsMaybe because it was the off-season when I visited, there really wasn't a lot to look at in this gallery, and what there was didn't really appeal to me. It's a personal choice, but I was surprised that there was so little art on display.Written June 7, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JoBAncaster, Canada1,562 contributionsAn absolutely gorgeous gallery of paintings by renown artists. I especially loved the paintings by CJ Roy and how they portrayed Newfoundland life in bright colours.Written September 24, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Robert DBrooklyn, New York5,058 contributionsSgt. Thomas Ricketts Memorial Park is a small, but lovely park. You can read the plaque about him. Ricketts is the youngest army recipient of the Victoria Cross for gallantry in the face of the enemy. During an attack in World War I, he drove the enemy into a farm where his platoon could capture them.Written October 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
