Kingston JamaicaKingston, the capital of Jamaica is well-known for its rum, not to mention the hot Jamaican sun and music. Every night is party night but don’t stray too far from the well-known tourist areas because there are two very different sides to Kingston, the tourist side of it all, known as New Kingston and old, downtown, which can be dangerous if you run into the wrong people. Out of all the islands Columbus found, Jamaica was by far the most exotic with its Blue Mountains, rivers, waterfalls, luscious greenery and sandy white beaches.
Most of the locals do speak a mixture English and Jamaican although there are a few other languages that may be overheard. As Kingston is home to many artists, music lovers and producers, this accounts for why there are so many different types of sounds going on throughout the island.  If you love music one of your first stops in Kingston should be the Bob Marley Museum, but call first to make sure it isn’t booked. Other must sees in Kingston are the National Gallery for its collection of Jamaican artwork, and the vibrant Emancipation Park complete with such diverse things as a mini-golf course, and stately fountains! Kingston has thrived as a tourist city with many things to explore from partying, great food and lots of entertainment. If walking from your beach front hotel isn’t quite what you had in mind after a tough day on the water, then check out any local shuttle buses. When you’re done partying, go back to the hotel and think about what part of Kingston you’re going to explore tomorrow. Return to Kingston Jamaica from Kingston
