Bridgetown In-a-Day

Historical Bridgetown

Bridgetown walking tour

The two most interesting areas to explore on foot comprise Barbados’ UNESCO World Heritage Site: Bridgetown’s historical centre and the Garrison area, located some mile and a half (2.4km) southeast.

Morning

Start off in leafy Independence Square, which is presided over by a bronze statue of Errol Barrow, the country’s first post-Independence prime minister. It also offers the best view (pictured above) across the water of the Parliament buildings, which contain two small worthwhile museums – good for a rainy afternoon, or for a blast of aircon. Diagonally opposite, Golden Square Freedom Park is of particular interest to enthusiasts of Barbadian history.
