There are daily flights to Nassau from Canada and the US, and also from the UK, so reaching the town from almost any area of the world is relatively simple. Visit Bay Street to admire colonial buildings and take the scenic Woodes Rogers Walk, or dine in style in one of the many excellent restaurants where seafood and shellfish and Bahamian dishes like conch fritters are a speciality. Be sure to explore the Pirate Museum, or simply relax with a cool drink on Junkanoo Beach.

Best time to visit Nassau
Any time is a terrific time to visit Nassau. The Bahamas has a tropical monsoon climate with hot, sunny days in summer and warm winters. Typical temperatures range from 79F or 26C in January and February to 89.8F or 31.6C in August. The highest rainfall is in June and August but this normally means late afternoon downpours which are over quickly and which counteract any humidity, or night time rain showers which give way to bright, fresh mornings.Pack plenty of sunscreen and light, cotton clothing and swimwear. Take a lightweight waterproof jacket in case of occasional showers.
The top attractions in Nassau
The Bahamas has a chequered history and pirates and the slave trade are notable areas. Discover more about the history of the region, including when Edward Teach – more commonly known as Blackbeard – sailed the coastal waters at the Pirate Museum.
