City advice
Getting around
Public Transport (Metrobus) is slower here than other cities
I would grab a cab if you want to get somewhere quickly! The city isn't too large, so taxi prices are affordable! The property is also within walking distance of downtown.
What to pack
Pack for all weather!
Newfoundland is infamous for our ever changing weather. We sometimes joke we may get all four seasons in a single day. Pack good rain gear, thermal layers (even in the summer), and waterproof footwear!
