North America's oldest English-founded city, on the eastern tip of the Avalon Peninsula. Colourful row houses climb the hills above the Narrows, and Signal Hill marks where Marconi received the first transatlantic wireless signal in 1901. George Street's pubs and live music make it the nightlife capital of the Atlantic provinces.
