Arrival and information
|
|
|
Connected with all of Canada's major cities, Charlottetown
airport
is located 8km north of the town centre. There's no public transport from here to town, but the
taxi
fare costs just $8. Incoming
buses
all arrive centrally at the SMT depot, 330 University Ave at Gerald - a five-minute walk from the centre.
Inside the airport, a seasonal
tourist information desk
has buckets of information and provides a free room-reservation service - as does PEI's main
Visitor Information Centre
, on the harbourfront, a couple of minutes' walk from the town centre at the foot of Hillsborough Street (daily: Sept-May 9am-5pm; June 8am-8pm; July-Aug 8am-10pm; tel 368-4444). Both have copies of the comprehensive
Visitors' Guide,
but the larger office has much more on the island's B&Bs, national park and farm-holiday spots as well as free Charlottetown maps. Other useful information
for tourists (each section contains more specific sub-sections): |
