Downtown Bridgetown

Bridgetown, the nation's capital, has a plethora of attractions, but it's also a lovely spot to stroll about, buy, or eat. The downtown area is easy to navigate, and most of the attractions are close together and can be reached on foot. With a population of around 110,000 people, it is the island's largest and most active metropolis!

Street sellers with their colorful trays of fresh vegetables and wares may still be seen in select areas of Bridgetown. The pleasurable experiences to be had at local pubs and restaurants, as well as the historic walking tours of one of the Caribbean's oldest cities, are not to be missed. Nothing like a cool snowcone after a stroll through the downtown streets! The iconic Parliament Buildings, with its neo-Gothic style architecture and clock tower, and National Heroes Square are two of the city's primary attractions.

Across the street from the Parliament Buildings lies the magnificent Chamberlain Bridge, also known as The Careenage, with views of the Constitution River. Yachts docked along the waterway and the colorful structures that line the waterside walkway may be seen from the bridge. Wander inland from here to visit the Nidhe Israel Synagogue, St. Michael's Cathedral, and Queen's Park's 1,000-year-old baobab tree. Allow time to tour the Garrison Historic Area, which includes the George Washington House, the Garrison Tunnels, the Guard House, and the Barbados Museum.
