Nassau/Paradise Island
is the home of the Bahamian national capital. Welcome to Nassau,
bustling hub of The Bahamas since
the shipwrecking days of the legendary pirate Blackbeard. Prized
for its sheltered harbour, the city made history and preserved
it beautifully in Victorian mansions, cathedrals, 18th-century
fortresses and a Queen's Staircase whose 66 steps lead to a view
not to be missed. Nassau is home to weatherbeaten, ancient forts;
elegant, noble architecture; and fine local and international
crafts and goods,
from handmade lengths of batik to Rolex watches. An abundance
of posh resort hotels, casinos, cabaret shows, and cruise ship
docks make Nassau a vibrant center for entertainment as well
as commerce. Hostels in Nassau |
