Get the best out of the Bahamas by visiting its historical sites and buildings. Bahamas hotels often feature sights and activities that are sure to give you maximum enjoyment, but venturing out into the island will bring you a more holistic experience when it comes to island living. In the island of Nassau, start with Rawson Square, right across the cruise dock the Prince George Wharf. This square is lined with most of the historic government buildings, including the Ministry of Tourism Office. Walk along Bay Street, Nassaus main and oldest thoroughfare. Bay Street is the center of the downtown shopping area and buildings that line either side of Bay Street showcase colonial architecture. The Frederick Street Steps (or St. Andrew's, Hill Crest or Blackbeard's Steps) lead to East Hill Street. These steps were carved out of stone in 1793 and legend claims that the famed pirate Blackbeard took these steps to see when the ships were coming in. You should also drop by Clifton Heritage National Park to find out the peoples that have influenced Bahamian history and culture. The forts in Nassau are also excellent places to visit: Fort Charlotte, Fort Fincastle, and Fort Montagu.
