Newfoundland and Labrador Hotels
Long known for its austere splendour, friendly people and rich history, the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador is a vacation destination that offers an experience that is like no other. The natural panorama of the landscape has been shaped by the wind and the sea. The sheer majestic beauty of the land only hints at the rich storied tradition of the area.
The first European presence on this continent may well be documented at L'Anse-aux-Meadows. Located along the Viking Trail, the settlement dates back to circa 1000 AD. It is now a year round archaeological dig with Parks Canada accommodating travel in the summer months.
A sightseeing vacation of Newfoundland and Labrador is a singular experience. There are so many great things to do and see. Where else can you watch great parades of icebergs, like silent giants, steadily float by shining in rainbow prisms? Twenty-nine thousand kilometres of coastline provide more than ample chances to catch a glimpse of one of 22 species of whales or listen to the cries of legions of seabirds winging overhead.
A different kind of wildlife can be found on the infamous George St. in St John's Newfoundland. Miles of the cobblestone street are lining with pubs and taverns. Music of every kind spills out into the streets. Traditional Newfoundland melodies swell and mix with the latest in contemporary rock and top 40. Laughter, dancing and good food are the rule rather than the exception. No matter what your requirements are, it is not hard to find a place to stay. Accommodations are available in a number of price ranges and styles whether you are looking for a luxury hotel or something a little easier on the pocket book.
A trip to Newfoundland and Labrador is one you will never forget.
