- EveBobMiramichi, Canada130 contributionsAlthough a long drive to get here the visit was well worth it. A beautiful recreation of the time of the Vikings. Make sure that you take in the short film and have a guided tour of the grounds. The staff members are very friendy and informativeWritten October 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- roaming_kiwi58Christchurch, New Zealand2,826 contributionsThere are two Viking sites at L'Anse aux Meadows. Norstead is a privately run site which portrays a reconstruction of a Viking Village.
The other Viking site nearby is an UNESCO and National Heritage site, which is run by Parks Canada.
L'Anse aux Meadows is believed to be the only North American site which was settled by Vikings. Norstead has numerous reconstructed Viking buildings. It also has a beautiful example of a Viking Ship.
If you are visiting L'Anse aux Meadows it is worthwhile going to both the Viking sites - there is not much else here! Very remote and isolated.Written October 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
