Ever since the beloved classic \u2018Anne of Green Gables\u2019 was first published in 1908, readers dreamed of exploring the green pastures, swaying grasses and red beaches that inspired Lucy Maud Montgomery\u2019s stories. You\u2019ll make that dream a reality when you visit Prince Edward Island, the captivating place that our favourite red-headed Anne adored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are Anne-related attractions all over the island and you can imagine yourself in Marilla\u2019s kitchen, and walk down Lovers Lane and The Haunted Woods, when you visit Green Gables Heritage Place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also discover where it all began at Lucy Maud Montgomery\u2019s birthplace, visit the Bideford Parsonage Museum where 19-year-old Lucy lived, and take a tour of her Cavendish home. You can also pick up some souvenirs at the Anne of Green Gables Store in Charlottetown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a step back in time at the historic Shaw\u2019s Hotel<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"historic<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In 1860, Grandfather Shaw opened his inn on the family\u2019s pioneer farm to offer a relaxing country lodge for guests. Four generations later, the Shaw family still runs the property and it\u2019s now a National Historic Site of Canada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll discover a simpler way of life when we take you here to meet your host, Robbie Shaw, explore the grounds of the historic hotel, and enjoy lunch surrounded by the beauty of Brackley Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incredible arts, culture and heritage centre takes up a whole block with galleries, theatres and exhibitions. It also holds an important place in history as it\u2019s known as the \u2018Birthplace in Canada\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1864, delegates from the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario and Quebec gathered at this site for the Charlottetown Conference to propose a national union. This led to the birth of modern-day Canada and you can see the Province House where the conference took place in the centre\u2019s Upper Foyer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 150 years later, Province House has expanded into a massive complex of art, music and history. See the replica of the Confederation Chamber where the first meeting was held, and explore the fantastic art gallery which showcases Canadian artists including sculptures, paintings and installations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to head to the live theatre where you can see Anne of Green Gables – The Musical, which holds the world record for the longest-running production. It\u2019s been performed here every year since 1965 and you can catch the music from June to September. Our tip? Pick up some chocolates from Anne of Green Gables Chocolates next door, to eat as you enjoy the show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

History buffs can\u2019t miss Beaconsfield Historic House. Dating back to 1877, it was once considered one of the most elegant homes on Prince Edward Island, and today it\u2019s a beautifully preserved piece of Victorian architecture. With 25 rooms and eight fireplaces to explore, this the place to get your Victorian heritage fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Government House is another fantastic historic site in Charlottetown. Built in 1834, Government House was the official residence of the Lieutenant Governor of Prince Edward Island. You can explore the manicured gardens and winding driveway that lead to the regal white fa\u00e7ade and pillars of the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This grand cathedral was originally built in the early 1900s in a High Victorian Gothic Revival style, but it had to be rebuilt in 1919 after a devastating fire. The new design was modelled after St Patrick\u2019s Cathedral in New York City, and today it\u2019s designated as a National Historic Site. It\u2019s a peaceful place to wander around and soak up the history of Charlottetown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting at Victoria Park, follow the boardwalk along the waterfront as you pass some of the city\u2019s most beautiful houses. You\u2019ll reach Peake\u2019s Wharf, a historic site where the Fathers of Confederation first came ashore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of cannons along the boardwalk which have stood here since the 1800s, while the harbour is lined with pretty pastel-coloured wooden buildings. If you\u2019re visiting in summer, it\u2019s a great place to go shopping, grab dinner and enjoy some live entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head up to the rooftop patio bar at Fishies on the Roof for a lovely view over the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, no trip to Charlottetown is complete without a stop (or two) at Cow\u2019s Creamery.  This iconic creamery was founded in Prince Edward Island and now sells its delicious ice cream all over Canada and the world. It\u2019s been rated as one of the world\u2019s best ice cream spots and even beat out famous brands like Ben & Jerry\u2019s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can indulge in all sorts of cow-themed flavours, like Moo Henry, Messie Bessie, Gooey Mooey, and Wowie Cowie, made with vanilla ice cream, toffee, chocolate flakes and crunchy delights. We bet you won\u2019t be able to stop at just one scoop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll take a cruise across the Northumberland Strait to Prince Edward Island and drive by pastoral landscapes and gabled farmhouses to get to Charlottetown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you arrive, you\u2019ll find that most of the city is flat and easy to walk around. You can also rent bicycles and go for a breezy ride, or even try out the island\u2019s reliable public transport with the green T3 Transit buses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We love visiting Charlottetown any time from May to October, when the weather is warmer and the days are longer. One of the most popular seasons is the autumn months from September to October, when the leaves go for gold and turn all shades of red, orange and yellow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Springtime is also beautiful with the spring blooms lighting up the city. Temperatures in autumn average around 12 to 19\u00b0C, while May sees highs of 14\u00b0C. August is the warmest month with highs of 23\u00b0C. Perfect! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can travel to Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island with our new Maritimes Adventure<\/a><\/em> tour, part of our Neat Not Far<\/a> series of domestic trips. Domestic tours are currently available to those living in Canada, the USA, Australia and New Zealand.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
