Step into a real-life Viking village at the northern tip of Newfoundland! L’Anse aux Meadows is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the only known Norse settlement in North America—dating back to around AD 1000, nearly 500 years before Columbus.
Wander through sod-covered huts, chat with costumed interpreters, and learn how the Vikings lived, worked, and explored. There's an on-site interpretive center with artifacts and hands-on demonstrations like blacksmithing and weaving (depending on the season). You might even spot whales or icebergs offshore in early summer!
Tip: The site is open seasonally, so check ahead before visiting—and don’t miss the nearby Norstead Viking Village for even more immersive history.
