St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
St. John's - A Historical Walking Tour
Walksy
St. John's is one of the oldest European-settled cities in North America, and almost everywhere you turn in this compact, colourful capital, the past is pressing up against the present. This walking tour pulls together the landmarks, streetscapes, and stories that shaped Newfoundland's most storied city — from the working harbour that gave St. John's its reason for being, all the way up to the heights that once defended it from the sea.
This is just a preview—explore the full tour in the Walksy app for GPS navigation, audio narration, and every stop along the way.
