Canada’s inaugural UNESCO site, the Viking settlement at the tip of Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula, was the first real evidence that these European adventurers had reached the new world over 1,000 years ago – long before Columbus. The excavated remains of wood-framed, peat-turf buildings are similar to those found in Norse Greenland and Iceland, and are the only authenticated site in North America. You will be able to see how the Vikings lived and enjoy tales of their adventures long ago.
