Overview

Explore St. John's John’s, one of the oldest cities in North America, on a fascinating walking tour full of twists and turns. This 3km walk through the heart of the city centre will take you to a world rich in history, legends and inimitable local culture.

From your first steps on Water Street, the continent’s oldest commercial street, you will be immersed in the vibrant atmosphere of centuries past. Walking up Duckworth Street, discover how this iconic street was rebuilt three times on the ashes of major fires. On George Street, renowned for having the largest concentration of bars per square foot in the world, you’ll hear stories as festive as they are surprising.
