The best hotels Bridgetown

Bridgetown, the capital of Barbados, offers many tourist attractions to discover. Among them, St Nicholas Abbey is one of the island's most remarkable historic sites. Built in 1658, this magnificent Jacobean-style residence is one of only three still standing in the Western Hemisphere. Another must-see is Harrison's Grotto, an active cave where water still circulates and stalagmites continue to form. For beach lovers, Bottom Bay beach is a paradise of gentle waves and fine sand. History buffs can visit the Morgan Lewis Mill, the last working sugar mill in Barbados, now transformed into a museum by the Barbados National Trust. Nature lovers can visit the wildlife reserve, where they can observe green monkeys and other animals roaming free. Finally, cruise enthusiasts can enjoy a catamaran cruise along Barbados' west coast, with a delicious buffet, open bar, snorkeling stops and swimming among tropical fish and turtles.
