Jamaica

Caribbean

Currency: JMD

Language: English, Jamaican Patois

Jamaica has a mountainous interior of rivers, waterfalls and coffee slopes behind its resort coastline, and a music history that is genuinely central to the culture. Distances look small but mountain roads are slow. The north coast holds most resorts; Port Antonio and the Blue Mountains are the quieter alternatives.

Kingston

Kingston is the cultural and business capital, home to the Bob Marley Museum, the national gallery and a live music scene that runs through the week. The Blue Mountains rise directly behind the city, with coffee estates and hiking within an hour. It is a city to visit with local guidance rather than wander at random.
