The Newfoundland Travel Guide

The Newfoundland Travel Guide

Newfoundland is Canada's hidden gem! Not many people know about it, that's why it's such a special travel destination. It is the unexpected mix of Irish culture and rugged coastlines, Norway's fjords and Sweden's quaint villages. If you're a Nordic countries lover, Newfoundland is calling you! This guide covers 4 different areas with my insights after spending one month in Newfoundland guided by the locals. This carefully curated list features 60+ places including hikes, sights, activities, restaurants and accommodations. I suggest how long I would spend in each place, but this is a self-driving guide to fit your own travel pace, build your own adventure!

The Basics

🇨🇦 About Newfoundland

Newfoundland is an island off the coast of Canada and is one half of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is the Easternmost province in Canada, and fun fact: when you are there, you are closer to Paris than to Vancouver! 94% of the 540,000 inhabitants of the whole province live in Newfoundland.

It is home to the first viking settlements in North America. Over the centuries, Newfoundland has developed its heritage through influences from Ireland, England, France and its Indigenous people.

🌤 Climate

Newfoundland benefits from a mild to cold climate all year long. In winter, you can expect snow storms and high winds, but it isn't as crazy cold as it can be in other Canadian provinces (0 to -10°C). Summer is warmer, but it doesn't go much above 20°C, and can still be very windy.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hi there! I'm Chloe, a 27 years old girl born and raised in France. I'm OBSESSED with trip planning, from my first road trip planned in Ireland when I was 18 to this day, it really became a passion of mine. Literally before even learning about this platform, all my trips were already planned exactly as you can find them here! I thoroughly traveled Europe until I crossed the Atlantic in 2022, where I did a 6 months solo trip through Canada, where I'm now based in. So if you're planning a trip pretty much anywhere in Canada, I got you! When it comes to my travel style, I wouldn't call myself a backpacker, as I enjoy a bit too much a minimum of comfort. But always on a budget! My main focuses are sightseeing on road trips, outdoor activities, hiking, as well as city trips (I'm an architect so I always keep an eye out for some cool buildings). To be honest, you won't find me much relaxing. I'm a quite fast paced traveler, I always want to see as much as possible in a limited time! My motto is: "if I'm not more tired than I was before going on a trip, I haven't enjoyed enough of it" :D
