Start in St. John's
Most visitors to Newfoundland and Labrador will want to spend a few days exploring the provincial capital, St. John's. Discovered in 1497 not as an established settlement but as fishing grounds, it first appeared on a 1519 Portuguese map as São João, though some believe it was named earlier for the Italian explorer Giovanni Caboto (John Cabot), who possibly visited what later became known as Newfoundland during his exploration of coastal North America.
