48 Hours in Charlottetown: The Perfect Weekend
From waterfront seafood to historic streets and live theatre, here's how to make the most of a weekend in PEI's capital.
Charlottetown packs a remarkable amount of charm into a walkable downtown. Start your morning with a flat white at a local roastery, wander the historic Great George Street, and spend the afternoon along the waterfront. In the evening, catch a show at the Confederation Centre before a seafood dinner on Victoria Row. Day two is for the markets, boutiques, and a harbour stroll. This guide walks you through the ideal two-day itinerary, with local picks for every meal.
