Destinations - Caribbean - St. John's

One of the oldest trading posts in the Caribbean, St. John’s (pop. 36,000) is a mix of restored buildings dating back to the 1600s and more modern structures (some of which could use a little restoring).

If your ship docks in St. John’s, you can start exploring the town as soon as you disembark—most sights are within walking distance. Stroll along the streets lining the wharf, where vendors hawk everything from clothing and local crafts to artwork and jewelry. Stop to buy a refreshing glass of coconut water.

One must see: the Public Market. You may not recognize some of the tropical fruits and vegetables for sale, but don’t hesitate to buy and sample anything that appeals to you (you may want to ask if it needs any preparatio n first). The market is particularly lively on Friday and Saturday mornings.
