Nassau is the capital of the Bahamas. The country's commercial and cultural center, it is its largest city with more than 211,000 inhabitants, and is so large that it occupies almost the entire island of New Providence and merges with it. Thanks to the yacht charter, sailboat and catamaran in Nassau, boaters can discover several islands in a single trip. The city center is located on the northeast coast of the island, facing Paradise Island, where Atlantis Paradise Island is located, a tourist complex that has become the archipelago's main attraction and employs more than 6,000 Bahamians, making it the country's second largest employer after the state.
Nassau has a major port, Nassau Harbor, as well as Prince George Wharf, the main terminal for cruise ships. The city has a specific architecture, a colorful blend of colonial and European styles.

We recommend that you take a trip to John Watling's Distillery for the famous rum tasting. The John Watling's Distillery was named in honor of the British pirate «John Watling», who died in 1682 and took up residence on the island of San Salvador in the Bahamas. The distillery is located in an old house built in 1789, completely renovated, where more than 300 years of Bahamian history are traced. Also in the historic city center, "John Watling" rum, nicknamed "the spirit of the Bahamas," is handcrafted by Bahamians using local materials and traditional English rum-making methods.
