Q: What are the top tourist attractions in Nassau?

Queen’s Staircase : Climb 66 limestone steps carved by hand to reach a cool, narrow passage. Feel the spray from the waterfall and emerge at Fort Fincastle. Fort Charlotte : Explore the island’s largest fort, with dungeons, a drawbridge, and cannon-lined ramparts. Walk the walls for harbour and cruise ship views. Parliament Square : Stand among pastel pink government buildings from the early 1800s. Photograph the statue of Queen Victoria and watch traffic roll along Bay Street. National Art Gallery of The Bahamas : Step into a restored mansion to see Bahamian art from classical to contemporary. Move between airy rooms and the sculpture garden out back. Junkanoo Beach : Swim in calm, clear water just a short walk from downtown. Rent a chair, sip a cold drink, and watch locals play music along the sand.

Question 2

Is Nassau walkable?

Accepted Answer

Downtown Nassau is walkable. Bay Street, the Straw Market, the Queen’s Staircase and Fort Fincastle, the Pompey Museum, and Junkanoo Beach are all within a short stroll of the cruise port.

Jitney buses 10 and 12B run along West Bay Street toward Cable Beach and Saunders Beach, and a water taxi links downtown to Paradise Island. For an easy way to get around or head farther afield on New Providence, consider a private tour in Nassau with private transportation.
