St. John's most popular landmark beloved by visitors and locals alike for its hiking trails, stunning views, and the iconic Cabot Tower. Steeped in history, Signal Hill was the site of military battles and technological triumphs. Also better try the trails that provide breathtaking coastal and city views. A must visiting site! 😊😊

We really enjoyed visiting this place, we hiked along the Signal hill road, up to the Cabot Tower. Spent about an hour there and enjoyed great views of the ocean and the St John's harbor and city. We also learned the history of St John's military battles and the first wireless transatlantic communication. On the way back to the city, we hiked along the North Head trails which was the most beautiful and exciting hiking we had.

It's famous for being the spot where the first signal from the Titanic was heard, which makes it a must-visit for anyone interested in history. The view from Signal Hill is breathtaking, offering a panoramic look over the city and the ocean. Whether you're there for a romantic moment with your loved one or hanging out with friends, the scenery will leave you in awe. The peaceful atmosphere is perfect for relaxing, and we had a great time just enjoying the beauty of the place. Apart from the history, the whole experience was incredible. Walking around the trails, taking in the fresh air, and learning about the historical significance made our visit extra special. It's a wonderful place to spend quality time with your loved ones while also appreciating a piece of history. If you're looking for a great spot to hang out and take in some history, Signal Hill is definitely worth the visit. We had an amazing time, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!
