The city's Straw Market is a bustling hub where visitors can shop for Bahamian crafts, artwork, and unique souvenirs.
However, navigating the market requires a blend of assertiveness, mindfulness, and tact to ensure you have a pleasant shopping experience without feeling pressured into making purchases.
Visitors are taken on a journey through the history of piracy, learning about the notorious figures such as Blackbeard, Anne Bonny, and Calico Jack who became legends of the high seas.
The museum's multimedia presentations and artifacts offer insights into their lives, tactics, and the challenges they faced.
The Nassau Pirates Museum immerses guests in the world of swashbucklers and offers a glimpse into Nassau's pirate history.
It doesn't take much time to go through the entire museum. It's fairly small but is definitely a great stop.
Also known as "66 Steps," the Queen's Staircase was built in the late 18th century by enslaved Africans.
The staircase was constructed by hand over the course of 16 years, providing a direct link to Nassau's past and the stories of those who toiled to create it.
The name "Queen's Staircase" honors Queen Victoria, who reigned during the time of the emancipation of slaves in the British Empire
The staircase consists of 66 steps that lead to a serene garden at the top.
The steps are intricately carved and feature a smooth, stepped design that showcases the remarkable skill and dedication of those who worked on its construction.
When you are getting off the boat, immediately waiting for you are tons of individuals who wish to offer you transportation around the island.
If you know where you're headed, you do not need to hire a car. You can easily walk to many places on the island. I always love to walk anywhere I can!
Just be prepared to say "no" many times as you get through the crowd.
