Downtown Bridgetown wraps you in colonial charm while the Caribbean sun bounces off historic Parliament Buildings. Stroll cobblestone streets past the UNESCO World Heritage sites and feel centuries of stories under your feet. The bustling Careenage harbor fills with colorful fishing boats while the Garrison Historic Area showcases military buildings among swaying palms. Traditional Bajan eateries serve flying fish and cou-cou alongside waterfront restaurants with harbor views.
