Beaconsfield Historic House

Beaconsfield Historic House reminds visitors of the Victorian charm of the 19th century. The exquisite mansion was built in 1877 in a great location by Victoria Park, overlooking the Charlottetown Harbour. Its 25 rooms and eight fireplaces not only provide insight into the fashions of The Gilded Age but also make the former residence a true historical treasure. Beyond the banana-yellow facade, you can't miss the carriage house, which hosts a children's festival in the summer. Tours are offered year round, and the on-site bookstore sells an assortment of material on the history and the architecture of the island.

St. Dunstan's Basilica

Named after an Anglo Saxon saint from Glastonbury, England, St. Dunstan's Basilica is a beautifully constructed stone basilica. An elaborate example of French-Gothic architecture, it claims to be the only Roman Catholic cathedral in the region. The site's original structure was completed in 1907 though the landmark that stands today was constructed in 1916 after a fire destroyed the first site. Later that same century, the nicely rebuilt St. Dunstan's Basilica was designated a National Historic Site, skyrocketing it to the top of the list of great attractions in Charlottetown.

Victoria Park

Victoria Park occupies a charming swathe of land along the waterfront in the city of Charlottetown, a wedge of wilderness in the midst of the city. The land on which the park stands was originally a 40-hectare (100-acre) property belonging to Governor Edmund Fanning known as Fanning Bank Farm. In 1873, part of the estate was donated to the city by Governor William Cleaver Francis Robinson for the creation of a public park. Walking trails traverse the wooded terrain, while a harbor-front promenade embraces the shore. At the heart of it all is the Deadman's Pond that is rumored to be bottomless. For recreation, the park features baseball diamonds, a swimming pool, a splash pad, and playgrounds. Spectacular views of the harbor can be had from the waterfront at Victoria Park.

An offshoot of the Gahan House Brewery, the Prince Edward Island Brewing Company in Charlottetown is an impressive microbrewery.
