Nightlife Tour in Port of Spain
Port of Spain transforms after dark. Neighborhoods around The Magnificent Seven mansions take on new energy, new sounds, and new possibilities — and the best way to discover it is on foot, moving between venues the way locals do. Track down Ariapita Avenue for the kind of night that only locals know about.
Port of Spain is one of the most culturally rich cities in the Caribbean, blending African, Indian, European, and Chinese influences into a unique national identity. The Queen's Park Savannah, one of the largest urban parks in the Caribbean, anchors the northern edge of the city with its oval walking path, the Magnificent Seven — a row of ornate colonial mansions — and the Botanical Gardens. Frederick Street is the main commercial artery, leading south through the heart of downtown past Red House (Parliament) to Independence Square and the waterfront. The city comes spectacularly alive during Carnival in February, with mas (masquerade) bands parading through the streets to soca and calypso music. The food scene reflects the island's diversity, with roti shops, doubles vendors, Chinese restaurants, and Creole fare competing on every block.
