Port of Spain Travel Safety Guide — Trinidad and Tobago

Safety Score: 6/10 · Value: 7.5/10 · Beauty: 6.7/10

Port of Spain is the cultural powerhouse of the southern Caribbean, home to Trinidad Carnival, the most spectacular street party on earth after Rio de Janeiro. What started as a 18th-century French colonial celebration has evolved into a two-day explosion of costumes, music, and street dancing that attracts 40,000 visitors annually. But Trinidad's year-round appeal is equally strong: the island's extraordinary cuisine (doubles, roti, pelau, bake and shark) reflects centuries of African, Indian, Chinese, Spanish, and French influence. The Asa Wright Nature Centre in the Northern Range is one of the world's premier birdwatching lodges, with 400+ species recorded. Maracas Bay, 45 minutes from the city, is the finest beach in the southern Caribbean.
