Enjoy a warm Inuit welcome in Nain, capital of Nunatsiavut
Few Canadians have been to Labrador; fewer still to Nunatsiavut, the Inuit region of which the town of Nain is the capital.
A historic church, a vibrant musical tradition and plenty of art and handicrafts await visitors to Nain. And the Inuit welcome, complete with country food and games, is unforgettable!

Visit the restored Viking habitation at L’Anse aux Meadows
The only authenticated Norse archeological site in all of North America, L’Anse aux Meadows, at the northern tip of Newfoundland is a must-see.
Here, the Viking settlement—first discovered in the 1960s—has been reconstructed. A fabulous interpretation centre and wonderful guides in period costume bring Viking history to life.
