A tourist destination steeped in history and breathless scenery to enjoy. Well worth dedicating an hour or so to visit when you are in St. John's Newfoundland. The site requires lots of climbing and it is quite windy, so dress appropriately. Bring your camera to capture photos or videos. Read Less

If you like history you will love this place. Located within walking distance of downtown St. John's this is a unique place that really emphasizes what the Rock better known as Newfoundland is all about. As stated in previous reviews it can get very windy so best to pack a coat. The walk is uphill from downtown with a steep grade so bring comfortable shoes and maybe even a drink. Certainly a part of history and nice to check off the bucket list. Certian times of year you can also view icebergs in the area. Read Less

Signal Hill is my favourite place in St. John's! I love to hike up there every time I visit. I usually go up the Battery Road way. There are 17 staircases altogether and the last two are tough, but it's so worth it when you get to the top. Breath-taking views of the city, harbour, and ocean. In August, be sure to stop and pick some wild blueberries along the way. Read Less

Incredible place with lots of history. Beautiful views of both the Atlantic Ocean and St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. We walked from the lower parking lot all the way to the top of the hill. Then we walked down the ocean side of the hill and sat on the Parks Canada red chairs and looked out at the Atlantic Ocean. There is a gift shop in the historic Signal Hill building on the top of the hill. You can also park at the top of the hill if you decide the climb is too much for you. Read Less

Breathtaking in every single way! Such a great walk and so beautiful. A must see if in St. John’s. All trails are suitable for all ages. It’s almost always windy so it’s a great idea to tie your hair and wear good shoes. Bring you camera fully charged because you won’t want to miss any of it! Read Less

There are some beautiful views from Signal Hill, and it's easy to see how it achieved it's historic importance, because of it's visibility in the area. The second story of the building has a neat little display of information regarding Marconi's radio experiments, including a reproduction of the sound he likely would have heard for the first transatlantic radio signal. History was made here. Read Less

Wear good walking shoes even if you choose to ride bus, drive up or take a taxi. Steep hills and staircases are everywhere. You won't get a better view of the city - great photo op! Maybe you'll be lucky and spot some whales too! Read Less

The trail to the top is easy and the view on st. John's Harbour is quite amazing. On the way it is worthy to stop to have a look at the old cannons that were guarding the Harbour during the war. Most of the days is very windy so you need to be a little careful while walking along the cliff. The all trail probably last about an hour.Read Less

Spent the day coming and going as i awaited the departure of my son on his first work term at sea. My experience was wonderful. The View for the harbor is amazing. Having the tower to go inside and warm up was wonderful. Taking in the chocolate cafe was convenient and tasty I highly recommend this site when visiting the city of St John's. Read Less

The walk up from downtown is not for the faint of heart, nor the out of shape. The walk down the goat path is not for the faint of heart, nor the out of shape, nor if you have bad knees. You've been warned. But well worth the effort. Read Less
