What you can expect

Get to know the city of Charlottetown with this audio guide. Download the app to your phone, then head out and explore the historical and cultural treasures that make the city so special. See sites like St. Dunstan’s Basilica Cathedral, Connaught Square, and the Irish Settlers Monument.

Begin by downloading the app to your smartphone. Next, head out to the port where your experience will begin. Wander through the marina, Peakes Quay, and down the vibrant pedestrian street Victoria Row. Listen to your audio guide tell you all about the city’s founding, and Canada’s early history.

Learn, for example, how Prince Edward Island was discovered by Europeans, and then handed over to British landlords. Find out how the islanders gained their independence, tiptoed on the brink of bankruptcy, and what eventually convinced them to join the Confederation.

See St Dunstan’s Basilica, one of only 26 basilicas in Canada, and one of the most visible landmarks in the city. Walk past the birthplace of the Canadian Confederation, Province House National Historic Site, one of the oldest functioning parliamentary buildings in the world.

Visit the Irish Settlers Monument, and pay your respects to the over 10 thousand Irish immigrants who first immigrated to the island. While you're there, hear about the ghosts who foretold the tragedy of a burning phantom ship, and an exiled Irish God who lurks in the rocks near the monument.

If you start to feel peckish during your walk, visit one of the wharf's many restaurants for a bite to eat (not included in the price). Take your pick from Lobster on the Wharf, the Culinary Institute of Canada, COWS ice-cream parlor, and more. Discover what the local cuisine has to offer.

Take in a few of the city’s hidden quirks, like a canon planted in the sidewalk, and statues of Eckhart, the mouse from David Weale’s bestseller The True Meaning of Crumbfest. Discover how the PEI Railway became one of the most crooked rail beds in the world.
