Barbados Travel Guide: Caribbean Beaches, Food, Culture & Things to Do
Bradt's fully updated fifth edition - the only standalone guidebook to this jewel of the Caribbean - takes you from the glamorous Platinum Coast to wild Atlantic shores, rum distilleries to calypso bars.
Sun, style and the art of slowing down - Barbados does things differently. It has the warmth and beauty you'd expect of the Caribbean, but it also has depth — colonial architecture and calypso bars, rum shops, chattel-house villages and a lively music scene. This thoroughly updated guide is for travellers who want to experience all of it.
What's inside:
Cultural insight that goes beyond the beach - Caribbean jazz, calypso, the Friday night fish-fry, and the vibrant Barbados carnival
Rewarding excursions made easy - self-drive routes, day tours and bus journeys to plantation houses, botanical gardens, traditional rum distilleries and colourful chattel-house villages
Unmissable sights, from iconic to unexpected - the Garrison Historic Area, Harrison's Cave, Welchman Hall Gully, and the submarine night tour of Barbados's nocturnal marine life
Honest, independent accommodation reviews - from palatial Platinum Coast retreats and luxury villas to local guesthouses and family-friendly resorts, for every budget
Authoritative food and drink coverage - gourmet beachside restaurants, Bajan street food, and the rum shops where real island life happens
Practical, up-to-date travel advice - getting around is safe, simple and inexpensive, whether by rental car, bus or guided tour
Bradt has been publishing independent, expert-led travel guides since 1974, and this is the only dedicated guidebook to Barbados on the market.
