Road Trip Jamaica – Tropical Paradise with Reggae Sound
Kingston – Vibrant Capital
Start your journey in Kingston, the capital of Jamaica. The airport where you can pick up your hire car is just four kilometers from the city. Vibrant life awaits you in Kingston. Start your tour on the parade. This is where the British troops exercised during colonial times. Today you can buy your first souvenirs on the square from flying traders. Nearby is the Jubilee Market. Offered are mainly exotic fruits of all kinds.
A must for music lovers is the visit to the Bob Marley Museum. In the house in which the museum is housed, the artist lived in his last years. Those interested in culture should not miss a visit to the National Gallery. From wood carvings to contemporary photography, the exhibition has a lot to offer. Now it’s time to stroll around the city a bit and discover Kingston for yourself. Don’t be in a hurry. Sit down in a café and observe the locals. This is the quickest way to get a feel for the rhythm of the island. Make sure to get back to your hotel before dark, though. At night, the streets of Kingston are not without danger. Muggings occur on a regular basis.
Trip to the National Park and one of the best coffees in the world
The next day, the journey takes you to the Blue Mountains. Here, unspoilt nature awaits you. The mountains are lush with vegetation. Blue Mountain coffee, which is one of the best varieties in the world, also comes from this region. You can observe its processing at the Mavis Bank Coffee Factory. After the tour, you will then have the opportunity to enjoy a cup of the delicious beverage.
The Blue Lagoon
The tour continues to the “Blue Lagoon”. The young Brooke Shields let herself be seduced here in the film of the same name. To this day, the place has lost none of its magic. The limestone basin, which is fed by underground springs, is surrounded by dense forest. You can enjoy a swim in the turquoise, crystal clear water and feel like you’re in the movie.
Port Antonio – Dreamy town with a lot of flair
After that, you might feel like visiting the dreamy town of Port Antonio. Once a destination for the rich and famous, the town is now a little off the tourist map. That’s a shame, because the little town is still charming. Here you can stroll through the streets at your leisure. Quickly you will surely find a nice bar and can plan the next stops of your road trip Jamaica with a cool drink.
