- The best way to learn about Charlottetown PEI is by taking the historic and waterfront self-guided walking tours. The Visitor Centre offers maps, showing the walking tours: historic on red lines and waterfront on green. In this tour I stops include:
St. Dunstan’s Cathedral
Confederation Center of the Arts
Cows Creamery
Rochford Square
Beaconsfield Historic House
Governor’s House & Garden
Old Battery Point
Brighton Beach Lighthouse
Victoria Floating Dock
Joseph McDonald House (First Hospital)
Charlottetown is the capital city on the southern coast of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Walking its streets, you find a history book brought to life. It’s most known for holding the Charlottetown Conference of 1864, leading to the birth of the Canadian Confederation. The town showcases well-preserved Victorian buildings, a vibrant harbour and serene boardwalk. The native people of PEI were the Mi’maq, which is a loaded subject as is so many stories about the indigenous peoples all over the world. The takeover of their Mi’kmaq land is the largest Acadian Expulsion in Charlottetown. And of course, not to overlook the fanfare around Anne of Green Gables, which was inspired by the author L.M. Montgomery on her farm in the PEI countryside.

I love sharing about how to enjoy a Charlottetown PEI walking tour. Plus, Prince Edward Island is referred to as “Canada’s Food Island,” so I include delicious foodie options.
Going to Charlottetown in a few weeks, thanks for the tips on stuff to see
Enjoy! It's a beautiful town.
