St. George's

St. George's is one of the most beautiful port cities in the Caribbean, curving along a horseshoe-shaped bay surrounded by volcanic hills. This Grenada's bustle capital is well-known for the boaters, who dock in the busy harbor, called the Carenage. The streets are lined with brick and stone houses with red-tiled roofs, where residents sell spices and crafts. Fort George, built by the French in the early 18th century, and Fort Frederick are two of the city's most important historical sites. Both have stunning views of the city and the sea.

Do you want to learn more about Grenada's history? Pay a visit to the Grenada National Museum. The museum, which is housed between a former prison and a 1704 French barracks, showcases a mishmash of historical relics, including Carib and Arawak artifacts as well as exhibits on the sugar and whaling industries. Visit the House of Chocolate, which is one of the top destinations to visit in St. George, or you can visit the famed Saturday morning market at St. George's Market Square to soak up some local color and buy fresh tropical fruits and spices.
