Sightseeing on Grenada
City life in Grenada is unhurried, the brightly painted colonial buildings of St George's, Grenada's capital, line a horseshoe-shaped harbour overlooked by 18th-century Fort George and Fort Frederick. The main market on Granby St is one of the great colourful sights of the Caribbean. The Grenada National museum in Young St is also worth a visit, laid out in an attractive building with a wrought iron balcony that was the former women’s jail. The Carenage waterfront area is hugely popular with tourists and is a great place to get a bite to eat and enjoy a cool drink looking out over the water.

Elsewhere on the island, Dougaldston Spice Estate is a traditional working plantation estate just south of Gouyave, Lake Antoine north of Grenville is formed within the crater of the now extinct volcano and Levera National Park located at the North East of the island where giant turtles come ashore to lay their eggs. There are three rum distilleries at Westerhall, Clarkes Court and Riviere Antoine, where tours and tastings are available.

Grenada has several waterfalls to be enjoyed for both their beauty and for a swim, Annadale, Concord, Seven Sisters, Victoria Falls and Royal Mt Carmel.
