Nassau
Colonial History and a Touch of Nightlife
- Entertainment
- Culture
- Diving
- Beaches
Nassau offers a side of The Bahamas – I would say – a little less authentic.
Enjoy it for what it is. Visit historical sights. Walk the Queen’s Staircase. Learn about the Piracy Era. Try some delicious fish fry. Wander around Downtown Nassau, lined up with pastel-colored colonial buildings. Relax at Paradise Island. Or venture to the thrilling slides of Aquaventure.
But if you want to relax by the beach with no one around, skip Nassau. If you want to add a little Colonial History and a touch of nightlife, put Nassau on the list.
