General Impressions of St. George, Grenada

Grenada is one of the poorer islands of the Caribbean. The capital, St. George is a multitude of colorful houses. In the bay you find some fisher boats and a three master sail-ship. There are a few shops in the port but as soon as you go deeper into the city center, all commercial activities are basic with the local population as customer target group.

All tough many cruise ships visit the island, passengers book organised tours to see nature and beaches. From the hills of this spice island, you have excellent views on the city, industrial area and sports fields. We advise you to take a taxi or book an excursion to visit the island, on your way back you can still explore the city.

Grenada is één van de armste eilanden in de Caribbean. De hoofdstad St. George is een verzameling van gekleurde huizen. In de baai vind je enkele vissersboten en een driemaster. Er zijn toch enkele toeristenwinkels maar van zodra je verder de stad intrekt, zijn alle commerciële activiteiten gericht op de lokale bevolking en basis behoeften. 

Alhoewel er hier veel cruiseschepen aanmeren, boeken de meeste passagiers excursies naar natuurgebieden en stranden. Op de heuvels van dit kruideneiland, heb je uitstekende zichten op de haven, stad, industrie en sportvelden. We adviseren een taxi te nemen of excursie om het eiland verder te bezoeken, op de terugweg kan je nog steeds de stad ontdekken.

  1. Lots of beauty here! I don't know how these woman can balance so much heavy stuff on their heads! I guess they have been doing it since they were little girls.
