While different areas of Canada have very distinct characters and cultures, Newfoundland and Labrador really does stand out from the rest of the country. Perhaps this is because a large part of it is an island, and the other part - Labrador - is attached to the mainland, and is very isolated. Another theory is that this uniqueness is because Newfoundland and Labrador was a separate entity until 1949, only becoming part of Canada in that year. Whatever the reason, there is definitely nowhere else like Newfoundland and Labrador.
As, the capital city of Newfoundland - a province known for its extensive wildlife and booming fishing industry - St. John's has a rich heritage as one of North America's oldest cities and still maintains much of its history today. Landmark buildings, streets and historic sites provide much of the city's old-fashioned charm, but a modern edge still exists with trendy eateries and pubs, and a vibrant nightlife scene.
