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.
