Frequently Asked Questions

Right in the historic waterfront district, downtown. Province House, Victoria Row and Peake's Wharf are all within a 15-minute walk, with no shuttle needed.
Yes, almost everything is within fifteen minutes' walk. From the port, Great George Street runs straight up to Province House, exactly as it did in 1864 when the delegates landed at the same spot.
The historic downtown loop runs a little over three kilometres including the port: Great George Street, Province House, the Confederation Centre of the Arts, Victoria Row and Peake's Wharf, then the shoreline path to Victoria Park.
Because in September 1864 delegates from the British North American colonies met here to discuss a possible union; three years later Canada existed. Province House, the site of that conference, is still the provincial legislature.
It depends on the restoration work under way. The neighbouring interpretation centre tells the story of the negotiations, balls and banquets that produced a country either way.
Yes. Green Gables Heritage Place is in Cavendish on the north shore, about a forty-minute drive. The excursion sells out fast, so book early. The drive is as good as the destination, through rolling fields, red barns and deep russet soil.
Lobster and oysters, from the takeout counter to the fine dining room — Malpeque oysters are the island's other claim to fame. On Peake's Wharf, COWS ice cream, born on the island, is a local institution.
The Canadian dollar and English. Cards and contactless payment work everywhere; French is not commonly heard in Prince Edward Island, although Acadian communities exist elsewhere on the island.
Yes. Distances are short and flat, Victoria Park offers lawns and 19th-century cannons, and the musical Anne of Green Gables, staged every summer since 1965 at the Confederation Centre, is the longest-running annual musical production in Canada.
Summer and early autumn, the Maritimes cruise season. It is also when Victoria Row closes its cobbled street to traffic for patios, musicians and craft galleries.
