Visiting Kingston

The city of Kingston is the main manufacturing, commercial and transportation hub of the island nation of Jamaica. From the original colonial architecture to the must-see Garden of Hope, this is a city burning with unique action, beauty and Jamaican spirit. The port of Kingston is one of the ports that attract many cruise ships to visit. Unlike anywhere else, in Kingston, Garden of Hope invites visitors with its amazing wildlife. Located at the foot of the Blue Mountains, Jamaica's bustling capital city offers a serene open space filled with greenery. Coming to Kingston, visitors will enjoy concerts often held at Emancipation Park, a green space full of palm trees in the middle of a magnificent city. Art galleries, bustling nightlife, colorful markets and even more colorful people are just a few reasons to visit Kingston. There's no shortage of things to do in Kingston and nowhere else on the island will you feel the pulse of Jamaica as it does here.

Start from Downtown in the heart of Kingston to see Kingston's famous attractions. Visit the National Gallery of Jamaica to see the cultural artifacts on display here. Then walk through the streets with sensational murals to dine at a local cafe. Enjoy the lively scene of the riverside as the children play and the music blares from somewhere nearby. Take a quick trip to Port Royal, once known as “the evilest city in the West”, to visit the beautiful beaches of Lime Cay or eat the best seafood in Gloria’s.
