THIS IS THE MOST UNDERRATED CANADIAN CITY | Charlottetown, PEI Travel Guide

- Опубликовано: 25 окт 2023
- If you're planning to vacation in Canada, I would highly recommend putting Charlottetown, PEI on your MUST SEE list. This beautiful little city has so much to offer in terms of activities, restaurants and beautiful accommodations. But not only that, it is very safe and also very well taken care of. Summer is definitely the best season to visit Prince Edward Island in general, but it would also be very beautiful in the late Spring or early Autumn as we did. I hope this video will inspire you with some ideas of things to see and do in Charlottetown and I would love to know any other suggestions from locals in the comment section! Also want to give a very big thank you to The Great George Hotel for hosting us on a media stay, we had an incredible time staying at this beautiful historic boutique hotel and I would absolutely recommend it as a great home base to explore Charlottetown from.

Alina, with the population that Canada has, it might be "impractical", but Charlottetown is about what ever Canadian city should be. Apparently, that province wants to preserve its best, not "redevelop" things and drive up costs to unaffordability.
Charlottetown's vacancy rate is dangerously low and housing costs are unattainable. There is a lot of homelessness and drug problems including fentanyl. Crime is going up too. What the tourists see is the shiny facade of the city. Charlottetown has the same problems as every other city.
It's like a small get-together with friends versus a party that gets out of control. That's my analogy for small towns (40k) versus huge cities. They're both fun in their own way.
haha that's actually a very good analogy
Ahh the most charming city! Love that you're featuring it, Alina! Well done. 😍
What a beautiful place!
Glad you're having fun again and found a nice place.
Thanks for sharing this amazing town.❤❤❤
Hi Alina! Charlottetown is another hidden gem - an incredibly beautiful small city with a rich diversity of attractions! Thanks for sharing!
It sure is, thank you!
I've met so many people from PEI and they're perhaps the nicest and the most friendly people ive met !
Hello Alina! 😁🙏👋🌟 I hope your having a super excellent day! This is truly a fantastic magnificent video! 😄👍❤️👏📹🇨🇦⛵️🥇💯💫✨🌟 Wow! The city of Charlottetown looks so absolutely amazing! Also Victoria Row, St. Dunstan’s Basilica and the Charlottetown Waterfront is really marvelous! The Great George Hotel looks magnificent! Even the food at the Water Prince Corner Shop, Vicinato Ristorante, Dal’s Potato Bar, PEI Brewing Co. and The BrickHouse looks very delicious! I would definitely like to visit the city of Charlottetown one day. It really is a beautiful city! Thank you very much Alina to share with us this wonderful excellent video. You are the best and greatest world traveler adventurer ever! 😃👍👏✈️🌎📹🥇💯🏆💫🌟 I wish you Alina a wonderful marvelous amazing blessed day. 😊🙏❤️👋🇨🇦👍✨🌟
A very great trip in Charlottetown!❤
Biggest fan of you . Thanks for the beautiful one ! Big love from nepal
A very well kept Town indeed.👍😊🇨🇦
What a beautiful area
This Canadian series has been the best with the Ukraine and Russia series a close second. It's always more interesting when you have a travel partner. Ryan is a great addition. I do sit there and wondering if you're dating. Human nature...lol
Your taste and selection is nice to go through.., your sweater colour is beautiful as well
Will remember this town. Hope I can visit.
Weldon Alina excellent job, keep it up ❤
Finally from me, wishing you a very happy haloween!
Looks and sounds like a wonderful city 🎉🎉
I am coming back after long time to this channel. Its nice to see Alina is happy and cheerful and not buttwrecked by the hassles of travels overflowing her eyes out, very nice to see a lively spirit & cheerful smile on you mam, lets pray to God it stays that way. O:)
Outstanding! I was planning a trip to NS, but I am having second thoughts now. Yes, please make Brian buy that jacket, for sure.
❤❤❤So beautiful and amazing video ❤❤❤
Thanks Alina glad to see that you are enjoying your time in the Maritimes..
Beautiful 😍
Thanks for showing me what charlottetown looks like now. It reminds me my study at University of PEI forty five years ago!
What a beautiful area of our northern neighbor! Thank you for your fantastic tour of PEI!
My pleasure!
#CHARLOTETOWN😍
ALINA, THANK YOU FOR SHARING👍🥰
Thanks for sharing this video God bless you all ways and your family ❤️❤❤
Thoroughly enjoyed the video Alina! What an impressive place to visit! Thanks for sharing and looking forward to your next video!
Thanks so much! 😊
Keep learning English from your video every day. For immigration to Canada.
Never miss your videos ❤
Thank you so much!
After seen your video I regret not going to Charlottetown for English estudies. It’s so Amazing !!!
Well as a coincidence I bought today a book of orations. The very first speech in this book from 1906 - is John Macdonald's "On Canadian Confederation" !!! What a lovely coincidence - thanks always for wonderful video
I am excited to go and work there. Beautiful place.
I studied there for a year and a half, it is so beautiful! The whole island is magical! Thanks for the video :)
That’s wonderful, glad you liked it!
Happy Thursday Alina! Thank you for sharing this video and I love Italian food. If I ever get the opportunity to visit Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada, I would visit for sure. Sending love from Miami, Florida, United States
Thank you so much and hope you do get to visit sometime!
Great video. Thank you for sharing. we will definitely visit this place in the near future
Happy to hear it!
It is like a butterfly , may be small but beautiful, small is always beautiful. You did a tremendous job finding this. I am from India currently in Canada , I wish I could go and visit this but unfortunately I am going back to India. Have a great time.
nice recorrido en Charlottetown nice , restaurante , comida , gente, hotel , areas verdes, creo que voy a ir a visitar esta bonita ciudad y te miras bonita! comiendo tu langosta ❤
What a fantastic place 😴, I had not heard of Charlottetown before and would love to visit Canada; my Wife got too see much of 🇨🇦 traveling with her Family in a truck camper 😊.
Charlottetown seems delightful. I adore the stunning architecture featured in the video. I live in Washington, DC and have only been to Toronto. It was fun to visit this lovely place vicariously.
Been 4 times to Toronto, a couple of times to Vancouver, zero times to PEI. I think now I'd trade any of those visits for one to PEI. Of so many places I've seen on video, it really seems most perfect.
Visited Charlottetown twice. Relaxing, beautiful city. Stayed at the Holman Grand. Nice hotel and if you like books visit the Bookman on Queen St. Great little bookstore! PEI is a perfect province for a relaxing vacation.
Maybe you will visit ST Johns some day :) I did like my visit there
I must commend you on this video. You researched your information well and articulated it beautifully--most videos on PEI are superficial and full of inaccuracies. A note on the well kept properties of PEI: some think that the only reason people take such care is because they are afraid they might end up on Compass, our local CBC production, or have their names published in our daily newspaper. My own theory is that there are thousands of men who, like myself, grew up on small farms and mow a large lawn just to justify owning a tractor. Keep up the good work!
Love your videos of this area, Alina! My husband, sister and I are planning to go to Nova Scotia, PEI and St John! I love all your recommendations and cannot wait to see this beautiful area!!! Your videos are absolutely wonderful! Keep up the good work!
Aw thank you so much! I hope you guys have a fantastic trip!
Great video! I would love to visit PEI, it looks so idyllic and charming. Cheers from Vancouver, BC! 🇨🇦
Thanks for watching!
Such a great visit to a beautiful town (city :-)). It looks very nice. On my list! Great video!
Many thanks!
@@AlinaMcleod Missed my chance in the 80ls. But I did get to see New Brunswick and about half of Nova Scotia. Totally worth it. By the way, when WE were in the northeast, the lobsters, they said, were "molting". No lobsters!
Beautiful
It's always the people that make the city a great place to live or visit! Guess have to visit even though a bit out of the way lol.
Very true!
Always love a trip to Charlottetown -- best small city in Canada. Have seen lots of shows at the Confederation Theatre -- Anne of Green Gables, the Musical -- at least 4 times. Years ago, my two daughters and I did the whole Anne of Green Gables pilgrimage round the the island as well.
That’s wonderful!
Wow nice place 😊😍🤩✌️👏❤️ thinks god's for sharing this video GodBless yuo allways and yuors family
❤beautiful..Greetings from Austria
Excellent 👍
Wow. Nice place to live
Nice video i like it so much thanks from Morocco 😊
Harriet and I enjoyed our time in Charlottetown , PEI . We always come away with great friends. You are right on Late Spring or Early Autumn is the time to visit. Great Food. Great Museums.
As always, Alina. The Perfect PEI Travel Guide. Sending much love❤ from Richmond. Va. Harriet, Jim and Yuki P.S. Your interview for Travel Host position, I would hire you in a heartbeat. Great Job.
Aw thanks guys!!
Incredibly beautiful city!Charlottetown is really a surprise for me, as I didn't know it. What a pity that it is considered an underrated city! Thank you Alina for another awesome video.
Yeah it definitely has so much to offer :)
@@AlinaMcleod I've been to the Maritimes, Toronto, and Vancouver. Sorry to say, my Maritimes memories are best. I was on a family excurson including my mother who insisted on being there because we went through New England on the way.
Lovely to see a beautiful girl enjoying food instead of pushing a salad around the plate
Agreed lol
Great city! Oh, and you look amazing in this video! In Brazil I would say you're "gata" (cat) 🐈⬛, which means something more than just beautiful 😉
Please show more scenery!🎉
This video makes me regret my decision of not visiting Charlottetown this summer! Definitely have to visit next year. Truly the most insightful video about this part of Canada 🇨🇦
Yes, you absolutely should! Hope you have a wonderful time there next year!
Another GREAT vid, you make me want to visit there 🇨🇦 🍁🥪🍕🥘👍
I hope you do!
So glad you enjoyed my beautiful province! couple things that you may want to know for your next trip here. First Cows Ice Cream is fantastic but my favourite is actually Holman's. It's a small family run business in Summerside where the ice cream is homemade. If you don't make it out to Summerside they often set up at the farmers market in Charlottetown on Saturdays. The other is that's there's actually a uber like alternative here that's locally owned and operated called Kari that's also expanding into New Brunswick so hopefully that helps with your taxi issue next time you come.
Good to know, thank you!
Charlottetown looks amazing, but I can tell that Alina is at least 35 years younger than the next youngest person in that town. 🤣🤣 Those Charlottetown's citizens saw the Titanic being built, it looks like. But on a more serious note, that hotel looked really cozy! I'll celebrate my 119th birthday there. Sorry guys I couldn't help myself this time. The food seemed delicious and inviting too. Thanks Alina for the video.
Charlottetown is quite smart and fun to visit! I had a great time on PEI when we visited when I was 14.
Is Ryan a friend or more than a friend? 😛
The most beautiful thing about Charlottetown are the people visited the city in 1987the people is so friendly and so nice to me
I hope i can visit it again
Thank you Alina
Glad you had that experience as well!
Very beautiful presentation of PEI. I was there wanted to drive the long Confederației bridge and I stayed în Charlotte town at Best Western hotel. I went to PEI also because while în Montreal I always eated oysters from PEI . Thus, I said to myself why not to go to PEI and eat fresh oysters ? But the big surprize was that in Charlotte Town there were not a lot of oysters like în Montreal. Even difficult to find. It seems that PEI is exporting almost all oysters. But PEI is indeed nice, with good roads and only a few people in large space offering a sensation of true liberty.
I remember the day I delivered that maple leaf to the water front. I had it standing up on a flatbed and got lots of honks and waves. It was painted only in a grey primer but still looked good going down the road. Inside the 2 guys that made it welded their names I wonder if anyone will ever see them
Second try - As I have heard from the many good things about Charlottetown and PEI and the Maritimes provinces as a whole. Since I've worked with and around many PEIers, and Maritimers as a whole I've a base level knowledge about the area. I've seen TV shows about these areas, but as you so often do, you make your video's personal and a photogenic travel vlog. I'm both envious and jealous that you got to visit this amazing looking local. On the other hand your style makes your videos more personal and intimate than most of the TV shows I've seen on the area. It has long been on my list of places to go, but money and time have always made it stay on the list. Probably another reason is that although the food scene looks amazing, I'm not a fan of water foods in general. Once or twice a year makes me happy. So a seafood paradise for most ain't for me.
Like always you showcased this city extremely well and made it even more inviting than I previously though of it.
And to Ryan - Don't have a cow man, but dressing sort like one would make you outstanding in your field in Toronto. Well Alina you at least you know what to get Ryan for Christmas.
Another great video. Thanks.
Aw thanks so much Jim! Thankfully Charlottetown has lots of non seafood style restaurants so you should be all good :)
Hurrah. She went! Don't have time now to watch, but I'll watch when I do. Then begins the wait till her Vietnam video posts.
That's still a few weeks away, but coming soon!
@@AlinaMcleod Should be interesting since you like the place, SK is headed for cold, and your travel pal (Mr. McLeod) is along!
@@AlinaMcleod Rewatched. There are few places in Canada or SE Asia I'd consider visiting (Norway is different), but this is one. BUT it occurs to me that if everyone is SO friendly, thumb a ride. Or maybe get lodgings close to the bus since you have more time to work with in your time there. Also, perfect lawns are not any plus for me. I don't like lawns at all, including mine!
Shirt is fantastic.
Within moving to Canada in 3 years, me and my friends did two east coast road trips and two west coast ones (had to split because it’s massive). And Charlottetown is one of the two cities I still remember, the other is a very tiny place called Tofino, a surfer town in BC. Alina, you’re definitely late in finding beautiful PEI.
I would love to visit here sooner
Another interesting discovery, thanks for sharing. With only 40K population, I wonder how the city finances its services...
Nice video
The fly in that story is the toll on the bridge to get there.
Dear, you keep eating outside while roaming around to various places, don't you miss home cooked food. I must say your metabolism is excellent.
So nice no trash on sidewalks .. ....Toronto sadly trash wherev er you go....would definitely like to visit PEI looks a lovely place
I like your videos😘😘😘😘
Canada Prince Edward Island Charlottetown 🇨🇦 And United Kingdom Guernsey St Peter Port 🇬🇧
Hi,Now they have Kari same as Uber and It is easy to travel now!
When you ate at Dal's in the Food Hall did you also try the fudge at Oh Fudge? It's made with PEI potatoes and it is sooo good and creamy. It's lower in sugar and calories and is gluten free and vegan.
No I strangely don't remember seeing that, would be very interesting to try though.
So nices 💕🌻🌺👍
Regretting not getting that cow hoodie....
To help tourism you could play more "Trailer Park Boys"
Alina thank for you best of luck.
I don’t know what other industries they have besides tourism, so for me that explains why they have a lot of restaurants and hotels for the population.
I know my sister went there a few years ago on a bike tour primarily because of Anne of Green Gables. I enjoyed the tv series Anne with an e, which was on Netflix.
I watched a YT series on Wander Women who rode bikes around PEI.
Now I have to see if there is an Alina review of Victoria, which is my local favorite city in case I missed it. I’m also partial to Vancouver, which is nice aside from super high housing prices, but as a tourist from Seattle, I don’t have to worry about
Yup I did Victoria and Vancouver Island last year!
@@AlinaMcleod I just went back and found those videos, plus I see I have catching up on videos you did after Thailand this year
@@kenmcclow8963 thank you very much!
Great video! This looks like a wonderful place. I have maybe one reservation about living here, which maybe someone can answer. Some of the scenes showed a lot of 'older' people. Now I'm not against older people (I'm one myself, over 50), but I like being around younger people and diversity in age groups etc. Is the city like a retirement village, or is there a good mix of age groups?
It is an older demographic by a bit, but it's actually older tourists that you mainly see walking around from what I could tell, not locals. For locals I found there to be quite a bit of diversity.
Reids dairy in belleville has great ice cream
I wouldn’t say it’s underrated. Only that it’s the smallest provincial capital but it’s known to be quite a pretty city. As a place to live it may not be the best as not much goes on in the winter and before May but actually May and June and September or October are great on the island. If you don’t care to swim on the beach the beaches are walkable in those months and there are less tourists everywhere and hotels are much more pleasant than late June to early Sep when it is more a tourist trap
Alina you ate both pasta and pizza, together? WHO does that? Alina does😂❤.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a face and voice..so pretty 😍
