Kingston is a vibrant city known for its rich culture, historical significance, and stunning natural beauty. It is the birthplace of reggae music and home to iconic figures like Bob Marley. The Bob Marley Museum is a must-visit. The Blue Mountains, just outside Kingston, offer breathtaking views and opportunities for hiking and coffee tours. The city boasts a vibrant nightlife scene, featuring music, dance, and local cuisine at various venues. Enjoy authentic Jamaican dishes, such as jerk chicken, ackee and saltfish, and festival. Kingston blends history, culture, and natural beauty, making it a unique destination.

The people of Jamaica are some of the friendliest and most considerate you will meet anywhere. Unfortunately, the government of Jamaica does not serve them well and there is a lot of crime which often goes unpunished. I would advise anyone asking about going there about these risks.

My air bnb was so close to everything, and uber worked in Kingston, which allowed me to get about quickly & safely. The air BnB was very clean, and exceeded my expectations. The host was also very informative and helpful.
