Prince Edward Island
July 3-4 brings Prince William and Princess Catherine to PEI – a quaint, pastoral part of Canada. The royal couple will be taking in Charlottetown, the capital city, and Summerside.
| Why visit: Prince Edward Island is oozing with Old World charm. Picturesque villages, beautiful beaches, one-of-a-kind cafes and a slow, relaxing pace all make this a must-stop spot perfect for couples, families and solo-explorers. |
What to see and do
- Province House: History buff? Experience what it would have been like to be around during the creation of Canada. Actors in period costume re-enact scenes from the 1864 conference that gave birth to a nation.
- Confederation Centre: One part theater complex, one part exhibition hall, this hub of all things artistic hosts concerts, comedians and musicals – including Anne of Green Gables – The Musical, Canada’s longest-running musical (it first hit the stage in 1964.)
- House of Green Gables: Green Gables inspired the setting for L.M. Montgomery’s much-loved tale Anne of Green Gables. Rumor has it that Kate will be making a stop here because of her affinity for the popular book.
