10 Gift & Specialty Shops in Downtown That You Shouldn't Miss

August 19, 2021 Janette Largent

Looking out over the city of St. John's, you may be reminded of a mini San Francisco (minus the cable cars). St. John's provides the ideal balance between nature and nightlife, from the East Coast Trail and its stunning scenery to the colorful entertainment district along George Street. Although it's the largest city in Newfoundland, the vibe is still very small-town. You'll feel welcome in the City of Legends!

We stayed locally and our host left us some Newfoundland Chocolate Company chocolate. I became hooked! I needed more! So we went to the shop and I ended up with 5 more chocolate bars - the blueberry chocolate bar is definitely my favourite!
