A CLOSER LOOK AT UPTOWN & ALL AROUND
While the historic streets of downtown Charlottetown often get a lot of attention, the uptown and surrounding areas of the city (all within 10 km of downtown) have their own distinct appeal and convenience. From Cornwall to Stratford and everywhere in between, there are tons of amenities, dining options, great shopping, and accommodations.
• Uptown Charlottetown is easy to access by foot or bike along the Confederation Trail from downtown.

• A new bike lane running across the Hillsborough Bridge connecting Charlottetown to Stratford makes it slick to include Stratford in your Charlottetown adventures.
• Explore these areas car-free with T3 Transit!
• Grab an electric scooter from a street corner or head to Rising Tide and experience the thrill of zipping around on an electric bike.
Royalty Crossing is the place to go for all the latest styles and trends, with stores like Sephora, H&M and Winners. Meanwhile, the Milky Way along the North River Causeway has a collection of cool local shops like Coastal Culture and COWS Creamery (home of their “punny” T-shirts and the world’s best ice cream). The surrounding areas also feature many beautiful home decor shops, including the all-new Tosh Co. Home Store, Cottage Industry and Inspired Living, as well as a slew of home building supply and other larger box stores like HomeSense. In the Banbridge Inn you’ll find CROFT, a little slice of retail heaven that carries everything from MacAusland’s wool blankets to candles straight from the Isle of Skye.
