Start off your journey at the historical Charlottetown, the capital and the largest city of Prince Edward Island. Discover the birthplace of Canadian Confederation, Province House National Historic Site, and enjoy local cuisine at the Founders' Hall Market.
Explore the beautiful Cavendish Beach, which is the most popular destination for tourists during the summer months. Visit the Green Gables Heritage Place, inspired by the classic novel Anne of Green Gables, and the Gardens of Hope, where you can indulge in beautiful gardens and butterfly houses.
End your journey at the charming Victorian village of Victoria by the Sea, where you can walk around colorful heritage buildings, indulge in local cuisines, and watch the mesmerizing performance at the Victoria Playhouse. Take a horse-drawn carriage and explore the village in the most authentic way.
It is recommended to rent a car to visit Prince Edward Island, which would cost around $70-100 CAD per day. Taxis and Ubers are available in the cities, but it is advised to inquire about the estimated fare before hiring. Public transportation is scarce, so it is recommended to plan ahead and book car rentals in advance. All attractions on this itinerary are accessible by car and close to parking areas.
If you have more time, you can explore more beaches, such as Rustico, Brackley, and Basin Head. Visit the lighthouses, such as the Point Prim Lighthouse or the Wood Islands Lighthouse, and enjoy fresh seafood at the local restaurants.
If you have less time, consider choosing one activity in Charlottetown, one in Cavendish Beach, and one in Victoria by the Sea, such as visiting the Province House National Historic Site, the Green Gables Heritage Place, and watching a show at the Victoria Playhouse.
