    You could see 'The Rooms'. This is the provincial art gallery, museum and archives. Make sure you go to the top floor to see an incredible view of the downtown,harbour and the narrows.

    The Johnson Geo Centre is a geological centre that takes you on a tour underground. They have a video link with the international space station and sometimes will communicate with crew on board if the station is orbiting over Newfoundland.

    Cabot Tower on Signal Hill. Where Marconi received the first transatlantic message in 1905.

    Quidi Vidi micro brewery. Tour this local brewery and sample some of its brews.

    Many eateries and restaurants in the downtown area when you get hungry.

    A little advice about taxis. Don't use the orange taxis, 'City Wide Taxis'. They always overcharge their customers. 'Jiffy Cabs' is the best one. They are the yellow ones. Their number is 722-2222.
