Bridgetown is the capital of Barbados, a historic Caribbean port on the island's southwest coast whose Georgian centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Between the turtle-filled shallows of Carlisle Bay and a rum shop on every corner, there's always something new to discover!
When to go
The dry season from December to April brings sunny skies and calm seas but is the busiest and most expensive time. The quieter summer and fall are hotter and fall within the hurricane season, though rain is usually brief.
Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal
From eastern Canada, Bridgetown is often nonstop from Toronto and seasonally from Montreal in winter, while other departure cities usually connect through Toronto or a US hub like Miami. The winter sun season brings the widest choice of flights to Barbados.
What to see and do

Good to know before you go
The currency is the Barbadian dollar, pegged to and interchangeable with the US dollar, and English is the official language. To get around, the cheerful and cheap public buses plus shared route taxis reach most of the island, while renting a car gives you more freedom for the coasts, though remember driving is on the left, roads can be narrow, and many agencies add a young-driver surcharge for under-25s. Tipping around ten percent is appreciated, and a friendly greeting goes a long way with the locals.
