Explore Our City
Stroll Historic Charlottetown by foot. There is a boardwalk (2.5 Km) that will take you along the shoreline from the shopping and restaurants at Peake's Quay to Charlottetown's biggest green space, Victoria Park. Be sure to come back in the evening for live entertainment, and with our low skyline, a spectacular view of the stars.
History comes alive on National Historic Great George Street. Take one of many scheduled walking tours with the Confederation Players. An enlightening troupe of costumed, bilingual, young Canadians, trained as living Fathers and Ladies of Confederation. Meet them in the evening for the Ghostly Realm Tour and find out about the hauntings of the past. Tours leave from the Charlottetown Visitor Information Centre at Founders’ Hall.
Eckhart the Mouse
Eckhart is the main character from The True Meaning of Crumbfest, the story of a curious little mouse, written by PEI author David Weale. Eckhart is first and foremost an adverturer and you can be too as you follow the clues to find our bronze Eckharts spaced here and there around the City.
