Overview

Introduction

Georgetown, the primary port, capital, and largest city of Guyana, is located at the mouth of the Demerara Estuary. It boasts a distinctive architectural style from the 18th and 19th centuries, with most buildings still made of wood featuring Demerara shutters and intricate fretwork around eaves and windows. Despite its South American coastal location, Georgetown exudes a Caribbean ambiance, reflecting its vibrant and rich history through various landmarks. Noteworthy sites include Main Street with its colonial homes, such as the green and white State House surrounded by expansive gardens, built in 1852. The Demerara Harbour Bridge, the world's longest floating bridge, connects both banks of the Demerara River.

Georgetown offers an array of attractions perfect for a half-day city tour. These include St. George’s Cathedral, known as one of the tallest free-standing wooden structures globally, the elegant Carnegie Building housing the Public Library, the gothic Town Hall, Victoria Law Courts, and St. Andrew's Kirk, the country's oldest surviving church. The renowned Stabroek Market, dubbed "a bizarre bazaar," offers a diverse range of goods from household items to jewellery and fresh produce. Its clock tower stands as a prominent city landmark. Additionally, the National Museum showcases local wildlife and heritage, while the Walter Roth Museum of Anthropology delves into Amerindian history and culture.

 A visit to the Botanical Gardens and Zoo is a must. The gardens boast an extensive collection of Caribbean tropical flora, featuring ponds, canals, bridges, and a bandstand. The zoo showcases over 100 species of Guyanese wildlife, including tropical fish and birds. There is also an opportunity to feed West Indian Manatees.
