PLACES OF INTEREST

There are so many wonderful treasures to discover on this beautiful and uniquely diverse island.

If you love history, you will enjoy Barbados. The island is dotted with wonderfully preserved buildings, many dating back more than 300 years. Explore the stately Parliament Buildings in Bridgetown (home to the world's third-oldest democracy). Visit the great sugar plantations for a taste of island nectar, or sample the produce of our acclaimed rum factories. The list of man-made attractions is endless.

If you prefer the beauty of the natural world, you will never have far to go. Barbados boasts a wide variety of tropical plants and trees, including bougainvillea, frangipani, traveller palms, mahogany trees, and, of course, the bearded fig tree from which Barbados got its name.

Bathsheba and the Scotland District are located on the east coast. The spectacular and breathtaking scenery, forged over millions of years by the powerful Atlantic Ocean's winds and waves, rivals any place on earth.
