# Top 10 Things To Do in Charlottetown

Charlottetown, Canada · North America · By Wimup Editorial, 13 min read

This is the smallest of Canada's ten provincial capitals and it does not pretend otherwise. Nothing downtown is more than a fifteen-minute walk from anything else, and the one building the city is famous for has been behind scaffolding since 2015. What it has instead is a summer that runs at full volume from late June to September.

## Quick answer

Charlottetown is a capital of about 39,000 people, and everything a visitor comes for sits in six blocks of Confederation-era brick between Province House and the harbour. Give the first day to the walk: Great George Street down to Peake's Wharf, the Confederation Centre stage in the evening, oysters after. Give the second to red sand and water, either the national park beaches or Cavendish.

## Quick facts

- **Best months:** Jun · Jul · Aug · Sep
- **Ideal length:** 2 days, 3 with a beach and Cavendish day
- **Budget per day:** C$140–260
- **Language:** English, with French spoken in the Acadian communities west of the city
- **Getting around:** Walk the downtown grid, rent a car for the beaches and Cavendish, T3 Transit for the airport and the suburbs

## The 10 best things to do in Charlottetown

### 1. Confederation Centre of the Arts

Theatre · 145 Richmond St, Charlottetown, PE C1A 1J1

The national memorial to the Fathers of Confederation is not a monument, it is a working theatre, and it is the reason the city fills every summer. The Charlottetown Festival runs from late June into September, and the Anne production has played every summer since 1965, which is a Guinness record. The complex also holds the art gallery.

- **Time:** 3 hrs
- **Cost:** Ticketed shows
- **Best at:** Evening
- **Tip:** Book the Anne matinee rather than the evening show if you also want a wharf dinner. The Upper Foyer exhibit and the Province House film are the closest you can get to the 1864 rooms until the building reopens.

### 2. Great George Street

Historic street · Great George St, Charlottetown, PE

Six blocks running uphill from the water to Province House, and the route the delegates walked after landing at Peake's Quay in 1864. It was designated a national historic district in 1990, and the Confederation-era houses hold a consistent scale the whole way up. Walk it from the bottom, in the direction the delegates did.

- **Time:** 45 min
- **Cost:** Free
- **Best at:** Morning
- **Tip:** Start at Peake's Wharf and climb. The other direction puts the basilica behind you and wastes the one view the street is arranged around.

### 3. Peake's Wharf and Confederation Landing

Waterfront · 1 Great George St, Charlottetown, PE

The working end of the harbour, at the foot of Great George Street where the 1864 delegates came ashore. Today it is craft shops, patios and the departure dock for harbour and sunset sailings from June to September. Confederation Landing Park spreads east as lawn and boardwalk. Cruise ships tie up here from May to November.

- **Time:** 2 hrs
- **Cost:** Free to walk, tours ticketed
- **Best at:** Late afternoon
- **Tip:** Check the cruise schedule before booking a boat tour. On a four-ship day the wharf is the busiest place on the Island.

### 4. Province House National Historic Site

Landmark · 165 Richmond St, Charlottetown, PE C1A 1J1

The sandstone building at the top of Great George Street is where the Charlottetown Conference sat in September 1864, and it is still the seat of the provincial legislature. It is also closed: Parks Canada shut it in 2015 for a conservation project and the reopening is expected in autumn 2026. Check before you plan around it.

- **Time:** 20 min outside
- **Cost:** Free
- **Best at:** Any time
- **Tip:** Do not build a day around the interior until Parks Canada says the doors are open. The Confederation Centre exhibit is the working substitute and it is a two-minute walk.

### 5. Victoria Row

Pedestrian street · Richmond St, Charlottetown, PE

A block of Richmond Street beside the Confederation Centre that closes to cars for the summer and turns into the city's outdoor room: cobbles, patios down both sides, and live music most evenings. The council made the late patio hours permanent. It is the fastest way to understand how the town spends a July night.

- **Time:** 1 hr
- **Cost:** Free
- **Best at:** Evening
- **Tip:** Buskers work the row between sets on the patios. Come after eight, when the day-trippers from the cruise berth have gone back aboard.

### 6. St. Dunstan's Basilica

Church · 45 Great George St, Charlottetown, PE

The mother church of the Roman Catholic diocese of Prince Edward Island, and the tallest thing on a low skyline: the twin spires are visible from the harbour and most streets between. The present building is early twentieth-century High Victorian Gothic, and its interior is the one genuinely soaring room in the city.

- **Time:** 30 min
- **Cost:** Free
- **Best at:** Midday
- **Tip:** Check the parish site for the Mass schedule first. Arriving mid-service means a long wait on the steps or a quick, awkward exit.

### 7. Victoria Park and the boardwalk

Park · Victoria Park, Charlottetown, PE

The city's green edge, on the point where the harbour meets the strait. The land was set aside in 1789 and passed to the city in stages from 1873. The 1.2 kilometre boardwalk runs the shoreline past Battery Point, about twenty minutes at a walking pace. Behind it are ball fields, a pool and the white bulk of Government House.

- **Time:** 1 hr
- **Cost:** Free
- **Best at:** Sunset
- **Tip:** Start at Beaconsfield Historic House on Kent Street. The boardwalk begins just past it, so the two make one loop rather than two errands.

Links: [City of Charlottetown](https://www.charlottetown.ca/leisure___recreation/parks_and_trails/parks_and_playgrounds?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)

### 8. Beaconsfield Historic House

Historic house · 2 Kent St, Charlottetown, PE C1A 1M6

Built in 1877 for the shipbuilder James Peake to a design by William Critchlow Harris, and kept close to its original state by the PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation. It is the best surviving picture of what shipping money bought in a colonial capital, and the guides tell the rest of the Peake story, which ends in bankruptcy.

- **Time:** 1 hr
- **Cost:** $12 + HST
- **Best at:** Morning
- **Tip:** The Carriage House behind the main building runs lectures and concerts through the season, and the gift shop is one of the better places in town for Island books and pottery.

Links: [Museum site](https://www.peimuseum.ca/visit/beaconsfield-historic-house?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)

### 9. Founders' Food Hall & Market

Food hall · 6 Prince St, Charlottetown, PE

The old Founders' Hall building on the waterfront, reopened as an indoor market: Island kitchens and globally minded ones side by side, a cafe, a full bar and stalls of souvenirs. The mezzanine and the patio both look over the harbour. The reliable answer on a wet afternoon or a day the Saturday market is closed.

- **Time:** 1 hr
- **Cost:** Free entry
- **Best at:** Lunch
- **Tip:** It is a two-minute walk from Peake's Wharf, so it works as the indoor half of a waterfront morning rather than a separate trip.

Links: [Official site](https://foundersfoodhall.com/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)

### 10. COWS Creamery

Factory tour · 397 Capital Dr, Charlottetown, PE

The Island ice cream brand makes everything at one plant ten minutes from downtown, and the self-guided factory tour is free: a walkway over the production floor, a cheese cave and a taste of the Avonlea Clothbound Cheddar. Unashamedly commercial, and the clearest explanation of how a province of 175,000 exports a dairy brand.

- **Time:** 1 hr
- **Cost:** Free
- **Best at:** Afternoon
- **Tip:** Go for the cheddar rather than the cone. The clothbound Avonlea is the thing that is genuinely hard to buy anywhere else.

## Best historic sites in Charlottetown

Five more buildings and grounds that carry the Confederation story past Province House.

1. **All Souls' Chapel at St. Peter's Cathedral** (National Historic Site · Rochford Square): Built in 1888 in Island sandstone to a William Critchlow Harris design, and a national historic site since 1990. High Victorian Gothic on a small scale. [Cathedral site](https://stpeter.org/StPetersCathedral/all-souls-chapel.html?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
2. **Government House (Fanningbank)** (Tours in Jul and Aug · Victoria Park): The Lieutenant Governor's official residence, finished in 1834 on land set aside in 1789. Guided tours run in July and August; the grounds are open daily.
3. **Ardgowan National Historic Site** (Grounds only · Palmers Lane): The cottage William Henry Pope lived in while he argued for Confederation and attended the conference as a Father of it. The house is closed; the gardens are yours. [Parks Canada record](https://www.pc.gc.ca/apps/dfhd/page_nhs_eng.aspx?id=574&utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
4. **Charlottetown City Hall** (Exterior, 1888 · Queen at Kent): The oldest municipal hall on the Island, built in 1888 in the Romanesque Revival the century liked for civic work. The ground floor once held a firehall.
5. **St. Paul's Anglican Church** (Island sandstone · Prince Street): A large Gothic Revival church in Island sandstone a block off Grafton Street. The entrance faces one way and the spire another, so it reads differently from each side.

## Best restaurants in Charlottetown

Six kitchens for oysters, lobster and the Island beef in between.

1. **Claddagh Oyster House** (Seafood · Sydney Street): The Sydney Street room that made this a restaurant street, open more than 35 years, and the standing answer for oysters shucked to order. [Official site](https://claddaghoysterhouse.com/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
2. **Water Prince Corner Shop** (Lobster pound · Water Street): A blue clapboard corner shop and lobster pound two streets from the wharf, family run, with the lobster roll most Islanders will name first.
3. **Sims Corner Steakhouse & Oyster Bar** (Steak and oysters · Queen Street): Aged and cut in house, with an oyster bar and a long wine list. The one downtown table that is about beef rather than shellfish. [Official site](https://simscorner.ca/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
4. **The Pilot House** (Pub kitchen · Grafton Street): Straightforward pub cooking a block from the Confederation Centre, which makes it the sane option when a show lets out and Victoria Row is three deep.
5. **Slaymaker & Nichols Gastro House** (Gastro house · Fitzroy Street): A gastro house and small inn on Fitzroy Street, a block up from the Queen Street crowds, cooking Island produce with more ambition than the room lets on. [Official site](https://slaymaker.ca/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
6. **Salt & Sol** (Waterfront dining · Pownal Street): The restaurant at the Charlottetown Yacht Club on Pownal Street, which puts a seafood menu directly over the water. The best sightline in town. [Official site](https://saltandsolpei.ca/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)

## Best bars and breweries in Charlottetown

Four places to drink Island beer, one of them upstairs from the oysters.

1. **Gahan House Pub & Brewery** (Brewpub · Sydney Street): The brewpub in the middle of the historic downtown, brewing on Sydney Street and pouring its own across a full pub menu. The default first pint, and the easiest to find. [Official site](https://charlottetown.gahan.ca/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
2. **Upstreet Craft Brewing** (Taproom · Allen Street): A working brewery and taproom on Allen Street, north of the downtown grid and worth the fifteen-minute walk. The room fills with locals rather than cruise passengers. [Official site](https://upstreet.ca/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
3. **PEI Brewing Company** (Brewery and venue · Kensington Road): The largest of the city breweries, out on Kensington Road with a hall that doubles as a concert venue. Check what is booked before you go.
4. **Olde Dublin Pub** (Irish pub · Sydney Street): Upstairs from Claddagh at the same address, running since 1985, and the usual place to wait out a table downstairs. Live music through the summer.

## Best arts and theatre in Charlottetown

Four rooms for theatre, music and art, none more than five minutes apart.

1. **Confederation Centre Art Gallery** (Gallery · Richmond Street): The gallery wing of the Confederation Centre, showing Canadian art alongside the permanent collection. The serious visual art in town, under the Festival roof. [Official site](https://confederationcentre.com/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
2. **The Guild** (140 seats · Queen Street): A 140-seat black box theatre and gallery on the Queen and Richmond corner, programmed with the local work the big stage does not carry. [Official site](https://www.theguildpei.com/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
3. **The Mack** (Small theatre · Great George Street): The MacKenzie Theatre on Great George Street, small and close, used for concerts and productions that suit an intimate room.
4. **Baba's Lounge** (Live music · Great George Street): Upstairs from Cedar's Eatery on Great George Street, with live music most nights. The city's music scene is largely a list of people who played here first.

## Best beaches in Charlottetown

Four beaches within a 40-minute drive, three of them inside the national park.

1. **Brackley Beach** (21 km, supervised · PEI National Park): Twenty-one kilometres north on Route 15, and the closest of the national park beaches: wide, dune-backed and the easiest to reach without planning a day around it. [Parks Canada](https://parks.canada.ca/pn-np/pe/pei-ipe/activ/natation-swim/brackley?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
2. **Stanhope Beach** (21 km, supervised · PEI National Park): Twenty-one kilometres northeast, quieter than Brackley on the same stretch of shore, with a boardwalk behind the dunes. Supervised through the season. [Parks Canada](https://parks.canada.ca/pn-np/pe/pei-ipe/activ/natation-swim/stanhope-main?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
3. **Cavendish Beach** (38 km, supervised · PEI National Park): Thirty-eight kilometres northwest, under the red sandstone cliffs that put the Island on postcards, and the busiest sand on PEI in August. Pair it with Green Gables. [Parks Canada](https://parks.canada.ca/pn-np/pe/pei-ipe/activ/natation-swim/cavendish-main?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
4. **Tea Hill Provincial Park** (15 min drive · Stratford): Fifteen minutes out through Stratford, on the harbour side rather than the north shore: a small park with a beach and warm shallow water at high tide.

## Best shopping and markets in Charlottetown

Four places to spend, from sixty market stalls to a bookshop that has been there since 1972.

1. **Charlottetown Farmers' Market** (Sat 9am to 2pm · Belvedere Avenue): Sixty farm, craft and prepared-food vendors on Belvedere Avenue, Saturdays year-round and Wednesdays in summer. The best hour for understanding what the Island grows. [Official site](https://charlottetownfarmersmarket.com/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
2. **Northern Watters Knitwear & Tartan Shop** (Knitwear · Richmond Street): Sweaters knitted in house from British wool, plus the work of more than 250 Canadian artisans. The souvenir likely to outlast the trip. [Official site](https://nwknitwear.com/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
3. **Bookmark** (Independent bookshop · Queen Street): An independent bookshop on Queen Street trading since 1972, strong on Atlantic Canadian writing, with games, puzzles and stationery filling the rest of the room.
4. **The Anne of Green Gables Store** (Gift shop · Queen Street): Queen Street, and exactly what it says: dolls, books, prints, straw hats with red braids attached. Either the reason you came or the thing you walk past twice.

## Best day trips in Charlottetown

Six drives from the capital, none of them over an hour and a quarter.

1. **Green Gables Heritage Place, Cavendish** (40 min drive · Cavendish): The farmhouse that gave Lucy Maud Montgomery her setting, 40 minutes north and run by Parks Canada. The Haunted Wood and Balsam Hollow trails are behind it. [Parks Canada](https://parks.canada.ca/lhn-nhs/pe/greengables?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
2. **Greenwich, Prince Edward Island National Park** (50 min drive · Greenwich): Fifty minutes east for the largest dunes on the Island, including a rare parabolic system, reached by a floating boardwalk across a pond. The best walk in the park. [Tourism PEI](https://www.tourismpei.com/what-to-do/beaches-parks/greenwich-pei-national-park?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
3. **Victoria-by-the-Sea** (30 min drive · South shore): A grid of nine blocks on the south shore, half an hour west. A working wharf, a playhouse, chocolate makers and lunch, which is the whole afternoon. [Tourism PEI](https://www.tourismpei.com/trip-ideas/itineraries/small-towns/victoria-by-the-sea-itinerary?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
4. **Point Prim Lighthouse** (40 min drive · Point Prim): Forty minutes southeast down a long spit of red road: the oldest lighthouse on PEI and the only circular brick one in Canada. Climb it, then eat oysters.
5. **Basin Head Provincial Park** (1 hr 15 drive · Points East): Eighty kilometres northeast, about an hour and a quarter along the Points East Coastal Drive, for the Singing Sands: silica fine enough to squeak underfoot. [Tourism PEI](https://www.tourismpei.com/what-to-do/beaches-parks/basin-head-provincial-park?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
6. **Confederation Bridge and Borden-Carleton** (50 min drive · Borden-Carleton): Twelve point nine kilometres over the Northumberland Strait, about ten minutes to drive and fifty from the city. The toll is charged only on the way off. [Official site](https://www.confederationbridge.com/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)

## Festivals & annual events in Charlottetown (2026)

- **Jack Frost Winterfest** (Feb): Four days over the Islander Day weekend, with ice slides, tube runs, sleigh rides and ice sculptures.
- **Festival of Small Halls** (Jun): Two weeks of music in more than 40 community halls across the Island. Most are a drive from the capital, and that is the point.
- **The Charlottetown Festival** (Jun–Sep): The Confederation Centre season: Anne of Green Gables, The Musical from late June, and a second production alongside it.
- **Old Home Week** (Aug): The Island's agricultural fair in August: livestock, midway, harness racing and the Gold Cup Parade. Around 90,000 attend.
- **PEI International Shellfish Festival** (Sep): Four days on the Charlottetown Event Grounds in September: oyster shucking, chowder competitions and a very large tent.
- **Fall Flavours Food & Drink Festival** (Sep–Oct): Two weeks of harvest events across the Island: chef dinners, lobster boils and shore excursions. Book the signature ones ahead.
- **Prince Edward Island Marathon** (Oct): The 5K and 10K go on the Saturday, the marathon, half and 16K on the Sunday, finishing in the city.
- **Charlottetown Christmas Festival** (Nov–Jan): Six weeks of markets, lights and hot chocolate in the historic downtown. The Victorian Christmas Market is the centrepiece.

## Must-try dishes in Charlottetown, Canada

- **Lobster roll**: Cold-picked lobster on a buttered bun, best at a lobster pound where the price tracks the season.
- **Malpeque oysters**: Named for the bay on the north shore, sweet and briny, and voted among the world's best in 1900.
- **PEI blue mussels**: The Island produces about 80 percent of Canada's cultivated mussels. Steamed in wine, served by the pound.
- **Seafood chowder**: Thicker than the New England version and heavier on potato. Every pub has one and the differences are real.
- **Lobster supper**: A family-style sitting: chowder, mussels, rolls and a whole lobster, run by church halls in the country.
- **PEI potatoes**: The red soil grows the crop the province is named for. Look for fish cakes on breakfast menus.
- **COWS ice cream**: Made at the plant outside town and sold at the wharf. Wowie Cowie is the flavour they argue about least.
- **Avonlea Clothbound Cheddar**: Aged in the cheese cave at COWS Creamery and handed out in slivers on the tour. Hard to find off the Island.

## Charlottetown transport & airports

- **Airport** (YYG): Charlottetown Airport sits 8 kilometres north of downtown, about 15 minutes by car. Car rental desks are in the terminal, which matters here: the beaches are not walkable. [Airport site](https://flyyyg.com/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
- **Confederation Bridge** (12.9 km): The fixed link to New Brunswick lands at Borden-Carleton, about 50 minutes from the city, and takes ten minutes to cross. The toll is charged only when you leave. [Bridge site](https://www.confederationbridge.com/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
- **Ferry** (75 min): Northumberland Ferries sails between Wood Islands and Caribou, Nova Scotia, a 75-minute crossing that runs from spring into December. The faster route to Cape Breton. [Ferry site](https://www.ferries.ca/ns-pei-ferry?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)
- **Buses and coaches** (T3): T3 Transit runs the city routes, including the airport link. Maritime Bus, headquartered here, runs the coaches off-Island to Summerside, Moncton and Halifax. [T3 Transit](https://www.t3transit.ca/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral) · [Maritime Bus](https://maritimebus.com/?utm_source=wimup.com&utm_medium=referral)

## Charlottetown travel FAQ

### How many days do you need in Charlottetown?

Two full days. One covers the downtown on foot, Great George Street to the wharf with a show in the evening, and the second buys the north shore: a national park beach in the morning and Green Gables or Cavendish in the afternoon. A third day gets you Greenwich or the Points East drive to Basin Head.

### Can you go inside Province House?

Not yet. Parks Canada closed it to visitors in 2015 for a conservation project and expects to reopen it in the autumn of 2026, so check the Parks Canada page before you plan around it. In the meantime the Story of Confederation exhibit and the Province House film sit in the Confederation Centre's Upper Foyer, next door.

### When is the best time to visit Charlottetown?

Late June to late September. The Charlottetown Festival runs from the end of June, surfguards are on the national park beaches from 27 June to 1 September in 2026, and August is the warmest month with an average high near 22C. September brings the Shellfish Festival and the harvest events, and thinner crowds with them.

### Do you need a car in Charlottetown?

Not for the city, which is walkable end to end in twenty minutes. You need one for everything else: the closest national park beach is 21 kilometres out, Cavendish is 38, and Basin Head is 80. T3 Transit covers the city and the airport, but not the shore.

### How do you get to Prince Edward Island?

Three ways. Fly into Charlottetown Airport, 8 kilometres from downtown. Drive the Confederation Bridge from New Brunswick, free coming on and $20 for a car leaving. Or take the Northumberland Ferries crossing from Caribou, Nova Scotia to Wood Islands, 75 minutes, seasonal from spring into December.
