Bridgetown: Půjčení vozu od 8€ denně

If you have your own transportation, Bridgetown is a fantastic spot to visit. You may compare its ancient quarters to more contemporary portions of the city, discover hidden gems outside of the main tourist destinations, and, given the island's small size, even visit the rest of the country.

Best vacation spots and activities

Garrison Historic District This historic section of the city, also known as St. Ann's Garrison or simply The Garrison, is home to a variety of sites, including George Washington House (where the first U.S. president visited in 1751) and the island's horse racetrack and St. Ann's Fort.

Barbados Museum is located on the island of Barbados. Barbados has a varied and intriguing history, which you can learn about at this museum, which is housed in the former British Military Prison. The museum's various collections illustrate the narrative of Barbados, from the island's prehistoric geological history and indigenous civilizations through the arrival of European colonists and African slaves and the island's national independence in 1966.

Careenage. Bridgetown's ancient port has become one of the city's hippest areas, due to the presence of clubs, restaurants, and galleries in repurposed warehouses. Take a long, leisurely stroll, and if you know you won't be driving on the night of your stay, try the island's number one source of pride, its wonderful rum.

Parking and traffic advice

Barbados drives on the left side of the road.
Unless otherwise specified, the speed limit on all highways in Barbados is 60 km/h (37 mph), with the exception of the ABC Highway and the Spring Garden Highway, which have a speed limit of 80 km/h (50 mph).
When you drive, you must have your insurance and automobile documents with you.
Although Bridgetown is not a huge city, the capital and the highways around it may encounter traffic congestion, particularly in the mornings and evenings. It is preferable to avoid driving during certain times.
Many highways, especially those in densely populated areas, lack sidewalks, so you'll be sharing the road with walkers and bikers. Keep this in mind and drive extra cautiously after dark.
While major highways are in decent condition, certain regional and rural roads may have damaged surfaces or even potholes.
If you are the driver, you must always have your passport or ID card with you.
The general emergency number, like in the rest of the EU, is 112. The police department's number is 100, the ambulance service's number is 166, and the fire department's number is 199.
