About this experience

What to expect

Explore Charlottetown’s waterfront, Victorian streets and Confederation landmarks on a self-guided audio tour that plays through your smartphone. Beginning at Port Charlottetown, the GPS-guided route leads to Province House, Victoria Row, St. Dunstan’s Basilica, Beaconsfield Historic House and other memorable locations. Hear stories of Confederation, Mi’kmaq history, shipbuilding, grand homes, local characters and Anne of Green Gables. Audio plays automatically near each point of interest, while the live map shows your location and route. Download over Wi-Fi before you begin, then tour without using mobile data. Allow 90 minutes to two hours for the 4.5-kilometre route—or take longer. Pause for lunch, shopping or waterfront views and continue whenever you are ready. There is no group, fixed departure time or in-person guide. Tour when it suits you and discover Charlottetown at your own pace.
