Tips from the community
Signal Hill, topped by St. John’s most famous landmark, Cabot Tower, is impossible to miss and a must-do attraction. The last North American battle in the Seven Years’ War occurred here and it’s where Guglielmo Marconi received the first transatlantic wireless signal. Trails around Cabot Tower and the Queen’s Battery offer great views of the city and harbor, while the Ladies Lookout Trail is best for taking in the ocean. Visit in spring or early summer and there’s a good chance you’ll see icebergs and, if you’re really lucky, whales.
