Kanadas bezaubernde Insel Prince Edward Island, bekannt für ihre roten Sandstrände, sanften grünen Hügel und historischen Dörfer, bietet einen Blick auf den Golf von St. Lawrence und ist damit ein beliebtes Reiseziel für alle, die Ost-Kanada erkunden. Literaturliebhaber können auf den Spuren von Anne of Green Gables wandeln, während sie die echten Green Gables erkunden und die Lovers Lane entlang schlendern. Gleichzeitig können Outdoor-Enthusiasten die Insel mit dem Fahrrad entdecken, während sie an malerischen Farmen vorbeifahren – es gibt keine Knappheit an Aktivitäten auf Prince Edward Island.
Prince Edward Island comes to life in spring and summer when the island and its inhabitants shake off the winter chill and the wildflowers bloom. Take in festivals, including May’s PEI Setting Day Culinary Festival (which celebrates the first lobster fishing day of the season with a seafood feast at the Charlottetown Waterfront), or kick up your heels at one of the Friday night Ceilidhs at the Irish Hall, a riotous dinner-and-dance that recalls the history of Prince Edward Island.
The public T3 Transit operates within Charlottetown and other larger communities. However, renting a car is a good idea if you’re looking to travel between regions and explore some of the island’s smaller fishing villages. Otherwise, you can take advantage of the gentle hills and established bike routes that crisscross the island and opt for a cycling adventure.
Prince Edward Island is known for its seafood—historic fishing villages dot the coast, and lobster can be found on nearly every menu. Pull up a chair at New Glasgow Lobster Suppers to feast on scallops, mussels, and lobster, or grab a lobster roll to go from one of the many fish and chip shops that dot the island. Be sure to visit the charming community of Cavendish, where you can see all the spots that inspired the beloved novel Anne of Green Gables.
