This is the busy capital of Barbados and combines offices, banks and international standard shops. The town is bisected by the careenage, an inlet from the sea which has pleasure craft and fishing boats moored along its sides. Cafe's are bars overlooking the waterfront on the southern side and make ideal venue for a meal or a drink and watching the boats. The main thoroughfare, Broad Street is always busy and is lined with shops selling a wide selection of local and international goods, many at duty free prices. The main branches of most banks are here too, together with bars and cafes for that thirst quenching drink.

Bridgetown has many fine buildings from the Parliament buildings and St. Michaels' Cathedral to the more modern Financial Centre all close to Trafalgar Square and the first statue of Nelson.
