Surprisingly beautiful harbor, chic and raging nightlife. Natural beauty of these lands, in addition with an excellent tropical climate, than not a full vacation? And all this is about the excellent place in the Bahamas - Nassau. Initially, Americans appeared here, because they temporarily banned entry into Cuba. And after, tourists from other countries began to come here, because here is just an excellent paradise, in which the week will seem one day.
Nassau is the capital of the Bahamas Commonwealth, which was founded in 1650, called Charles-Town. And in 1695, the city was renamed in honor of Fort Nassau. The Bahamas are located nearby large transport and trade routes, which were a very popular pirate chain. Once, under the leadership of Edward Tiche - black beard, they proclaimed the pirate republic. But the British still managed to win their possessions and completely eradicate the pirated invaders from the territory of these lands.
Today, this is a wonderful place, on whose territory more than a million tourists comes annually, mainly from America, offers excellent conditions for recreation and entertainment by the sea. Nassau, which grew simply behind the port area is a place with flat and low-lying terrain, and several lakes are located in the central part here, the level of which increases and decreases depending on weather conditions. Here the tropical monsoon climate prevails, at which the temperature rarely rises higher than +32 degrees in the summer, and in winter it drops to +20 degrees. You can come here at any time of the year, because it is always warm and sunny here.
Nassau's paradise beaches are distinguished by excellent snow-white sand, with coral reefs and transparent water. Here, tourists can ride water skiing, diving, sports fishing, or simply carry out romantic yacht walks, which, mostly, are popular at sunset. If you prefer to relax exactly on the beach and do not sleep on a white sand, then it is definitely worth choosing a beach located on a paradise island. This beach is connected to the city bridge, so the island is perfect for recreation not only adults, but also married couples with kids. It offers a beautiful view of the ocean, and for people and children who do not know how to swim, it is here that special training courses are carried out. With their help, you can learn swimming in just a week.
In addition, the beach is perfect for underwater dives, because the water is transparent, and there are many tropical fish with a bright color. If you do not possess scuba dive skills, you can simply dive under water with a mask and a tube that can be simply bought in the city, almost every supermarket.
Arriving in Nassau, it is necessary to try local delicacies, or just walk around restaurants and a small, but very cozy city cafe. It is worth considering that the Bahamas cuisine is dishes that suggest the presence of fish or other seafood, since Nassau is, above all, the city on the water. Try fish in oil or snacks in small cafes, which will cost only about 7-8 dollars. If you prefer a more refined kitchen and the atmosphere, I advise you to go to restaurants that are located in the coastal zone. Seafood is served there, and all sorts of variations of cooking fish. Here get ready to post for a portion of about $ 50.
You can go to Martinique, a restaurant, which is known far beyond Nassau, because it was here that one of the first films about the famous James Bond came out here. After that, tourists go here Massovo to visit the famous Bondiad. But in Portofino serves the dishes of real original Bahamas, and on Fridays they spend the days of national cuisine, which always attract a large number of tourists.
As for shopping, it should be borne in mind that a large number of goods are for sale duty-free, which means reduced prices for almost all products, and especially alcohol. Sollar hats, sea shells and products from them, fabrics, perfumes, Roma bottles, or local drinks are popular with popularity among local souvenirs. Moreover, tourists and travelers should be known that the amount of import and export of goods and alcoholic beverages in Nassau is not limited than the majority of tourists use.
Undoubtedly, Nassau is one of the best places to relax on the bugs. Beautiful islands, national parks who are pleasing to tourists with their natural beauties and unique places with wonderful landscapes. Water attractions and entertainment, a large abundance of nightclubs, restaurants, shops and beautiful hotels, many of whom are quite expensive. All this beauty and comfort can be found exactly here in the capital of bugs. Compare the beauty of one or another island in the territory of the bugs is simply meaningless, because all of them have some highlight and unique features.
However, if you are going to Nassau, you should consider some of the features of stay in this city. For example, loner tourists are better not to get into deserted places, because it is rather dangerous. In Nassau, there is an area that is located south of the central part of the city - on the hill. This is not a very prosperous part of the city, in which it is better not to be. The area looks quite decent, but there are quite a lot of gangsters. It is better not to sit in the same without yellow license plates, and do not sit if you are offered to ride free to the hotel, and in the car to strangers. Do not buy goods and services from locals, because they can be gangsters or fraudsters. In Nassau, such a massive number of tourists from American and European countries that no one will guarantee your safety. You should not buy Cuban cigars from small sellers, because it will definitely be fakes. Buy cigars exclusively with major merchants.
If you comply with fairly simple precautions, then your vacation in Nassau will be perfectly perfect.
