Take a drive and walk around Quidi Vidi Battery. It is a part of old Newfoundland right on the edge of the city. If you climb the hills and trails, especially in August you will find the local wild blueberries, ripe for the picking. There are some great views back into town as well.

It's a quiet little town and at night you can hear the waves crashing and the rocks sliding down into the never ending ocean. You feel relaxed and calm every time you look out the window. There...

It's a bit tricky to get to the area where the iceberg viewing is best, but you'll see tons of people and it's definitely worth the walk over there. The views (even when there are no icebergs) are pretty amazing and epitomize... More

They have some "hundreds years ago" soldiers to show you and tell you different stories about the French and British war affairs. Good to learn those history when you are a Canadian or being a visitor.

fantastic place to go and check out some history and amazing scenery. Good little walk, not too long or difficult.
