One of the most popular photo opportunities in North America’s oldest city, St. John s, is its colorful Victorian homes. Because of the wild arrangement of red, blue, yellow and orange houses, they are also called the “Jellybean Houses”.
The color scheme, which should counteract the decline in the city center, goes back to the 70s. Even today, residents and visitors are looking forward to the colorful color world, which makes the city look cheerful even in gray winter days.
Travel tip: Get a gigantic view over the city from Signal Hill. Along the coast you can hike up the mountain to enjoy a fantastic view at various corners. With a little luck you can also watch humpback whales and puffins from here.
