Question 2

Is Bridgetown walkable?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The historic centre around Broad Street, the Careenage, National Heroes Square, the Garrison and Carlisle Bay is compact and easy to walk, though heat and narrow sidewalks can make it slow going.

For farther spots, minibuses and ZR vans run often from Princess Alice Terminal and Fairchild Street. Take ZR 11 towards Oistins along the south coast past Carlisle Bay and the Garrison, or Route 1 towards Speightstown up the west coast. Taxis are easy to find at both terminals.

For comfort in the heat or for island day trips, consider a private tour in Bridgetown.
