Good to know before you go
The currency is the Canadian dollar and English is spoken, with a wonderfully distinctive local dialect. Downtown is hilly but walkable, city buses cover the main areas, and taxis (or Uber, where available) are handy in town. To enjoy the coastal drives to Cape Spear and the outports a rental car is really worth it, though under-25 surcharges are common, so day tours are a good alternative. Parking downtown can be tight on the steep streets, though traffic is light overall. The city is very safe and its people famously friendly.
