Best of Old & New
Worlds Meet in Nassau
 The 330-year old city of Nassau displays many charming signs of its British Colonial heritage, from crisply clad, white-gloved
policemen to the pomp and ceremony of the changing of the guard at Government House. Yet, underneath the gentility of the
Old World ambiance throbs a vibrant Caribbean pulse that colors and enlivens every aspect of this booming place. From quaint
colonial architecture, bathed in pastel pinks and greens, to the lilting sounds of Bahamians conversing in the streets and
from the proud traditions of the past to the incredibly vivid Junkanoo rhythm of modern times, Nassau opens wide a window
to its colorful past, while also inviting everyone to enjoy the very best of Bahamian living in the here and now.

Explore Amazingly Clear Waters
 As you fly toward Nassau, a mere 160 miles from Florida’s east coast, gaze out your airplane window to the sea below
and you will notice a remarkable phenomenon. The moment you begin to pass over the islands of the Bahamas, the water abruptly
changes hues from a dark greenish-blue to the most stunning shade of clear turquoise imaginable. Even from 35,000 feet up,
the waters of the Bahamas astonish with their sheer, pristine beauty. So, just imagine exploring these pure transparent depths
up close and personal. Dive or snorkel beneath the warm liquid surface of this coral-filled sea and become acquainted with
some of the exotic wildlife that makes its home in the many reefs that abound here. Experience sunbeams sparkling down through
the diamond-like prism of the gin-clear waters as you discover new universes on the seafloor and you’ll know you’ve
stumbled upon an unforgettable adventure.

Shopping in Style
 Sophistication reigns supreme in the elegant stores—many of which you can also find on the streets of London, New York
or Paris—that line Nassau’s main thoroughfares. Copious duty free shopping only makes your experience more appealing.
If you prefer something a little bit more in keeping with the Caribbean vibe, you’re also very much in luck, since Nassau
is home to the largest straw market in the entire region. Simply every item under the sun that can be fashioned from straw
is available here and don’t forget, it’s always a good idea to bargain! Want a truly authentic Bahamian shopping
experience? Then head on down to the market at Potter’s Cay and join in with the throngs of natives as they select fresh
produce, conch and fish. Whatever your purchasing pleasure, Nassau is sure to satisfy.
