The Nassau City Guides answer the questions every visitor has: where Bahamians go for conch and snapper, which public beaches are worth the taxi, how to see the forts and the Queen’s Staircase before the cruise crowds arrive and where the evening starts after sunset on the west coast. Every place in each guide comes with the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip, and the guides open in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Café Matisse

An old house with a shaded courtyard where Nassau’s lawyers and politicians take long lunches. Fresh pasta and pizza, bread and bruschetta on the house to start and candles in the evening. From the food guide.
Balcony House Museum
Market Street, downtown
A Loyalist-era timber house, thought to be the oldest in town, with period furniture and a staircase that came out of a ship. Entry is free, though a donation is welcome. From the things to do guide.
Rose Island
30 min by boat east of Nassau
A low, quiet island reached by speedboat or catamaran with local skippers, with a calm beach and water made for snorkelling. Most trips include lunch and often a stop to swim with pigs. From the beaches and day trips guide.
Plan your days in Nassau
Day one: start early downtown with Parliament Square, the Queen’s Staircase and Fort Fincastle from the things to do guide, eat lunch at a Fish Fry stall from the food guide, spend the afternoon on Saunders Beach and end with sunset drinks on the west coast. Day two: pick a boat trip or Clifton Heritage National Park from the day trips guide, then try a local club from the nightlife guide. For a rainy or slow day, the family and budget guides point you to Pirates of Nassau, the Pompey Museum, the National Art Gallery and a chocolate class at Graycliff Chocolatier.
