Tour Old Nassau - The Bahamas - History & Travel - On Voyage.tv

The Bahamas contains over 700 islands and 2,000 cays totaling 100,000 square miles. Not as small as you might think, this popular Caribbean destination is overflowing with culture and history. Get a comprehensive tour of Old Nassau, the historic center of The Bahamas. Because of the ports treasured safe harbor, the city preserves its British colonial style buildings and architecture. Originally built to protect the island from attacks, there are three forts in the area, including Fort Charlotte. For a tasty and authentic bite, stop by McKenzies in Potters Cay. Serving up a fresh conch salad, this hotspot presents the centerpiece and Bahamian staple of the islands fish dishes.

Now it is used for tourists who marvel at the fact that every part of the staircase, as well as its adjacent passageway, were carved by hand. End this historic tour of charming Old Nassau with a walk on the beach at sunset.

@scruffyrunkin I know we have it pretty good in The Bahamas. We don't owe nothing to our govt. We don't pay any form of income tax so the money from our paycheck, every penny, goes in our pockets. Thousands of Bahamians attend Universities in the US and Europe spending hundreds of thousands of dollars because we can. When hurricanes strike here you will never see the type of devastation that happens in Florida or Louisiana. We simply have better building codes and response to disaster.

@hiu1787 Actually, we do pay some form of tax, that's NIB. There's a certain percentage of you weekly/monthly pay that your boss has to deduct from your pay to give to NIB for the Government.

Show us the real Bahamas. Rent a scooter like we did and ended up in the slums which is 90% of the island.
