Overview

The capital of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Kingstown is a bustling port city of cobblestone arcades and a lively market. It is the gateway to the volcanic main island and the idyllic Grenadine cays.

Getting around

Minibuses and taxis serve the main island, and the compact center is walkable. Ferries connect to Bequia and the other Grenadines.

Local etiquette

Vincentians are warm and easygoing, so greet people before asking questions. Modest dress suits town, and beachwear stays at the beach.

Safety

Kingstown is generally safe for visitors, with petty theft the main concern in crowded areas. Normal caution at night is sufficient.
