The Quick Guide to Nassau, Bahamas

Nassau is the capital of the Bahamas. It is the largest city in the country, as well as its commercial centre. Historically a stronghold of pirates, the city is now the site of the House of Assembly and various judicial departments. The city has been named for the German town Nassau. Most inhabitants of the city are of European origin. The Bahamas has a very active and lively culture that is strongly influenced by African and European cultures, among others. Bahamian music’s largest contributor is Junkanoo, which is a street carnival which is held on Boxing Day and New Year’s Day every year. The Parades are characterised by spectacular costumes, and the music typically has powerful rhythms, beaten on goatskin drums.

My passion is to help people who love travelling and are looking for the ideal travel tips on destinations all around the world. Like a lot of people, I hoped travel would solve everything. I set off - convinced my trip would be all about incredible, life-changing moments; ones full of sunsets and rainbows and meaningful experiences. Instead, I stumbled headfirst into a disaster.
