This walking tour is perfect to immerse yourself into the historic Bahamian architecture and history of Downtown Nassau. There are many points of interest to discover as you stroll the streets and take in the islands culture.
You will experience a climb up the 66 limestone steps to the top of the Queens Staircase and take in the stunning views at Fort Fincastle near the historic canons and view the Water Tower from the outside. A perfect place to capture photos and take in the views of Nassau harbor.
A stop at Government House (exterior) as you learn it's history and then a visit to the Colonial Graycliff Hotel for more historical facts! Look out for the beautiful installation of hanging umbrellas that sits between the winery and the restaurant.
Next, enjoy a visit to the National Art Gallery of the Bahamas (excluding Mondays) and discover a rotating exhibit of artwork and sculptures by local Bahamian artists.
