Our tour will be operating during the St. John’s Pedestrian Mall so parking will be unavailable on most of Water Street starting on June 25, 2026. We recommend using one of the local parking garages for ease and convenience: MetroPark on Duckworth Street, 351 Water Street (accessible from Harbour Drive), Bowring Park, or Atlantic Place. There are limited on-street parking spots on Harbour Drive and Duckworth Street.
On-Street Parking
The City of St. Johns manages on-street parking downtown. Parking is free after 6 p.m. on weekdays, all day on weekends, and on statutory holidays. Do not park on George Street!
Outside of evenings and weekend you can pay to park on-street with the PayByPhone app or on the PayByPhone website. If you prefer to pay in person, pay stations are available throughout downtown. Although they are cash-free, they offer multiple payment options, including most credit cards, debit cards and mobile payment. There is a 3 hour time limit for on-street parking Monday-Friday between 8am-6pm. If you are taking the Newfoundland food tour during this time we recommend using a private lot.
For more info about paid on-street parking downtown, visit the City of St. John’s website.

There are several privately-owned parking lots, garages, and spaces throughout the downtown that offer a combination of hourly, daily and/or permit parking.
