Bonavista, Newfoundland

When Italian explorer, Giovanni Caboto - or John Cabot as he is locally known - first laid eyes on what is now the Newfoundland village of Bonavista, his first words were "O buono vista" meaning "Oh happy sight!"  The town's name stemmed from those words.

Bonavista has seen centuries pass by, telling the stories of the past and writing the stories of the future.A simple walk through town is an eclectic mix of old worldliness and modern ingenuity. Working harbours are steps away from inviting coffee shops and charming boutiques.
