Top Spots in Port of Spain for Solo Travelers
Showing 3 spots
Ariapita Avenue
Nightlife
Woodbrook's main restaurant and bar strip, known simply as 'the Avenue', where Port of Spain goes out to 'lime' — rum bars, restaurants, street food and live or DJ soca. It's busiest on Thursday to Saturday nights and during the Carnival season. Take a registered taxi at night rather than walking far on quiet side streets.
📍Ariapita Avenue, Woodbrook, Port of Spain, Trinidad
National Museum & Art Gallery
Culture
Trinidad and Tobago's national museum, near Memorial Park at the corner of the Savannah, with galleries on the islands' history, geology and natural history, Carnival costumes, and a collection of Trinidadian art including works by Michel-Jean Cazabon. It's small and manageable in an hour or two, and a good introduction to the country.
📍117 Frederick Street, Port of Spain, Trinidad
Queen's Park Savannah
Nature
A huge open park in the centre of Port of Spain, ringed by a road often called the world's largest roundabout. Along its western edge stand the 'Magnificent Seven', a row of grand early-20th-century mansions. In the evenings, food vendors sell coconut water, corn soup and doubles. It's also the main stage for Carnival.
