Port of Spain overview
Port of Spain is the capital of the Caribbean island group that is Trinidad and Tobago. It is a vibrant mix of the crowded and noisy city areas surrounded by stunning rainforest. The Royal Botanic Gardens on Cotton Hill have been an oasis for the town since the early 19th century and are probably one of the oldest established gardens in the Caribbean. Here you will find a fantastic display of indigenous trees as well as welcome shade from the sun. The main area for shopping is on Charlotte Street, which runs into Independence Square (or Brian Lara Promenade, named after their famous cricketer). Here you will find a mixture of traditional shops and market stalls selling everything from meat and fruit to CDs and jewellery. At night, this area comes alive with locals sampling food from the stalls and chatting to their friends. To get a real feel for the town and its people this is a great time to hang out. The island of Trinidad is a stunning place with its tropical beaches and lush rainforests, interspersed with rivers and cascades. It is certainly worth taking time out from the city to explore.
Getting around Port of Spain
Taxis are plentiful but make sure yours carries an ‘H’ on its licence plate as private cars often stop to offer lifts. ‘Maxi-taxis’ or minibuses also provide a service and prices vary, depending on the number of passengers, or they can be privately hired. There are also some local bus routes. Both buses and taxis only accept cash, but will accept dollars or euros. If you are lucky enough to be on the island around Easter, take one of the tours organised by conservation groups to see the Leatherback turtles laying their eggs on Matura Beach. You are sure to enjoy your visit to this lively and friendly city and island.
