St. John's, Provincial capital in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
The easternmost municipality in North America includes brightly painted row houses on steep hills facing the Atlantic Ocean harbor and coastline.
First discovered by John Cabot in 1497, St. John's became one of the earliest European settlements in North America and was officially founded in 1583.
The city maintains strong maritime traditions through museums, including The Rooms, which presents regional art, artifacts, and historical documents from Newfoundland and Labrador.
St. John's International Airport serves as the main gateway to Newfoundland, offering direct connections to major Canadian cities and international destinations.
Signal Hill marks the location where Guglielmo Marconi received the first transatlantic wireless communication in 1901, using an antenna suspended by a kite.
