Welcome to Bridgetown.
The City of Bridgetown, is the capital and largest city of the
nation of Barbados. Bridgetown is located on the southwestern
coast of the island along Carlisle Bay. Parts of the Greater
Bridgetown area lie along the borders of the neighbouring
parishes Christ Church and St. James. (See Google Map of
Barbados)
Bridgetown is a major West
Indies tourist destination, and
the city acts as an important
financial, informatics and
convention centre in the
Caribbean region.
Each January, Bridgetown
hosts the Barbados Jazz
Festival. The annual event is
a masterpiece of musical art
against the backdrop of
traditional tropical life in
Barbados.
Barbados is a surfer's
paradise. The island's location
far out in the Atlantic Ocean
allows waves to travel
thousands of kilometers to
finally unload all the power
over Barbados' coral reefs.
