Shopping
The two main shopping districts are the downtown area and the Charlottetown Mall on the outskirts of town, but still easily accessed by car, public bus, bicycle, or on foot. For a fun downtown shopping excursion, stroll through the shops at Peake’s Wharf (open all summer), then up Queen St., venturing down Victoria Row (pedestrians only). You might have to ask where the large, indoor Confederation Court Mall is (it’s cleverly hidden in the center of town).
