Bridgetown Holidays

Bridgetown, also known as The City, or simple, Town, to the locals, is the capital city of Barbados Island and is the largest town on the island with a population of 110,000.

Because of its high population numbers, as well as the massive number of tourists flocking to, in and around the town nearly all-year round, there is no denying that Bridgetown is not only one of the biggest cities on the island, but one of the most vibrant and exciting ones, as well. Steeped in a rich, and exciting history, Bridgetown acts as, not only the commercial and financial centre of Barbados, but also the cultural and historic capital, too.

Modern day Bridgetown reflects these multi-facets brilliantly as it has a perfect combination of old, historic buildings and sites weaved in among modern and new buildings and structures, many of which are hotels, and resorts - making it the perfect destination to visit. Because the city is so vast and popular, there are always exciting activities going on all throughout Bridgetown. Whether it is cultural festivals, music or food festivals, or live music, tourists visiting Bridgetown can almost guarantee they will be greeted by a wonderful display of culture and heritage. The Town is also home to some truly fabulous shopping centres, where tourists can pick up designer clothing, souvenirs, as well as handcrafted jewellery, crafts and art.

Bridgetown is officially recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which means that the historic aspects of the city are delicately preserved and are perfect tourism sights for those visiting who have a little extra interest in the cultural and historic side of things.

However, one of the main reasons so many people flock to Bridgetown is because of the wonderful beaches here. Whether you are strolling the boardwalk, enjoying food from some of the vendors by the beach, or cooling off with a snowcone after spending the afternoon frolicking in the gentle, warm and blue water, or taking in some rest and relaxation while kicking back in a sun lounger with a big, bright umbrella spread out.

If it is a slice of historic Barbados you are looking for, Bridgetown has you covered. If it is the beach life you prefer, Bridgetown is the place for you. Pretty much anything else in between, the Town has that, too.

Though it may be hard to beat the wonderfully sandy beaches, and tranquil, blue waters, one of the best parts about a vacation in Bridgetown has to be how simple the process of booking a trip there is. There is no fretting over the calendar or worrying about when you will be able to get time off of work in order to go. The reason for this is a simple one: Because of the fantastic weather the area is blessed with nearly 12-months a year, there really is no bad time to head to Bridgetown. Whether you arrive in summer, fall or winter, the weather will always be just right for you to partake in everything the waterfront has to offer, as well as the inner workings of the cultural icon, as well as the culinary adventures available.
