SHOPPING
Of course, no vacation is complete without some kind of shopping! The weekend is customarily the best time to do your shopping, as more specials, giveaways and deals are on offer. Bridgetown is a must! “ Town”, as it is affectionately known, is the island’s chief commercial centre, has a wealth of monuments and historical buildings and was recently named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Many stores offer duty-free shopping, and there is a wonderful arts and crafts site - Pelican Village - that makes a great stop for affordable souvenirs, accents for home décor and authentic Bajan works.
Holetown and Speightstown also are great places to shop, providing duty-free shopping, as well as beautiful craft items from local artisans. Local arts and craft are a great way to capture the spirit of the island, great for gifts and are available island-wide. Take a look below at some of our featured stores.
