A panoramic drive through Charlottetown allows you to learn the history of this quaint little town known as the Birthplace of the Confederation. Uncover the city's rich history as you drive along Great George Street and see the Province House National Historic Site and St Dunstan's Basilica.
Head along the Trans-Canada Highway toward the Confederation Bridge. This marvel of engineering, opened in 1997, is the longest bridge in the world that covers ice-prone waters. The bridge spans the Northumberland Strait, connecting Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick. You'll have time for picture taking, browsing for souvenirs, or sampling some PEI potato chips while enjoying the view from Gateway Village. Take in the scenic vistas of the North Shore and Prince Edward Island National Park.
At the Anne of Green Gables National Historic Site, you will step inside the house that was made famous in the stories of Anne -- PEI's beloved red-haired orphan -- or you may prefer to simply enjoy a stroll along Lover's Lane.
A light lunch is served at Fisherman's Wharf, allowing you to taste a local delicacy -- a lobster sandwich.
On the return drive to Charlottetown, stop for a sample of what is perhaps Canada's most premium ice cream at Cow's Creamery.
