Sightseeing

A beautiful public park with jogging trail and water spouts. Opened on July 31, 2002, the day before Emancipation Day which falls annually on 1st August. Emancipation Park is a tribute to freedom and a commemoration of the end of slavery. The park is very popular and it's hard to find parking, so better to walk.

Drive on the left. Use taxis with a "PPV" licence plate, etc

Drive on the left-hand side of the road. Use taxis that have red PPV licence plates and “taxi” signage, or rent a car. For airport pick-ups and travel around the island I would recommend you use: - JUTA (for airport pick-ups or drop-offs):- Drivers usually wear white shirts & black pants and are based at the airport. "JUTA" logo is on their shirts and vehicles (cars, vans). - Knutsford Express (for easy, comfy travel around the island):- Buses & coaches have toilets and TV. The depot is apx 10 mins walk/5 mins drive from the apartment. You can book in advance in person or online.
