Bahamas

Bahamas: Vibrant, colorful, playful

Catch the spirit in Nassau, the heart and hub of the Bahamas since the days of the legendary pirate Blackbeard. Drenched in history, the city seduces visitors with its tropical splendor combined with glamorous shopping, gourmet dining and lively nightlife. Visit in late December and you can join in the festivities of Junkanoo, with traditional street parades and all night parties, where you can dance until dawn to local music punctuated by cowbells, watch elaborate floats, and see costumes created by tiny shreds of colorful crepe paper.  Relax on the internationally celebrated sugar-white sands of Cable Beach.
