Citadelle Laferrière
Culture
A vast mountaintop fortress built in the early 19th century after Haiti's independence, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site together with the Sans-Souci Palace ruins at Milot below.

📍Milot, near Cap-Haïtien, Haiti
Labadie Beach (local side)
Nature
The village of Labadie and nearby beaches on the peninsula west of Cap-Haïtien, next to the fenced cruise-line resort.

Arrange boats and prices in advance, and check current travel advisories for Haiti before going.
📍Labadie, Nord, Haiti
Marché Cluny (Iron Market)
Food & Drink
Cap-Haïtien's central market at Place Cluny, sprawling over several city blocks under and around its iron halls, with everything from fresh produce and street food to clothing, household goods and crafts. It's busy and chaotic; go with a local guide. Check current travel advisories for Haiti before planning any visit.
