To help city lovers make Canadian travel plans, here are summer activities in St. John's, Newfoundland and links to local directories, a city map, the local daily newspaper and the St. John's weather forecast.
- St. John's heritage goes back to the time John Cabot entered the harbour in 1497, so a good stopping place is The Rooms Newfoundland Provincial Museum.
- While you're there, don't miss The Rooms Art Gallery of Newfoundland and Labrador for a view of modern Canadian art.
- Signal Hill, where Marconi received the first trans-Atlantic wireless message, is another landmark worth a visit.
