Its capital, Charlottetown, is similarly the country’s littlest “big” city. But what the Birthplace of Confederation lacks in size, it makes up for in history, local flavour and good old-fashioned hospitality. The coastal city is ideally designed for on-foot exploration; most key sites are within a 10-minute stroll. All that walking will come in handy as you spend your day noshing on delectable island dishes, from fresh seafood and homegrown potatoes to wild blueberries and craft beer. Wake up and smell the city’s best cup of joe at Leonhard’s Café & Restaurant on University Avenue. The menu of breakfast and lunch classics, all of which are made daily from scratch, echoes the location’s vintage vibe. Try the French toast, either sweet or savoury, prepared with housemade bread. Save some room for the Taste the Town walking tour, a foodie-focused journey through Charlottetown’s downtown, which traces its roots back PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND to 1720. The tour, starting at Founders’ Hall, offers a leisurely exploration of must-see attractions
