Charlottetown trip planner

The largest city on Prince Edward Island, Charlottetown remains small enough for easy exploration on foot. In a lively center that serves as the provincial capital, and houses nearly a half of the province's entire population, holidays in Charlottetown combine urban attractions with that pleasant small-town atmosphere rarely felt in major Canadian cities. Tours of Charlottetown allow you to see eye-catching churches, imposing civic buildings, and old warehouse converted into modern office spaces. Called the "Birthplace of Confederation" because of the role it played in the formation of modern Canada, this historic city remains relatively untouched by modernization and provides plenty of chances to sightsee at your own pace.
