The islands' capital, Port of Spain is a bustling metropolitan hub of approximately 300,000 people. 

It only holds a small percentage of the country’s array of diverse tourist attractions. The city’s attractions include a mix of 19th and 20th century architecture, shopping, botanical gardens, fine dining and indigenous restaurants and pulsating nightlife.

The pulse of the city is the Brian Lara Promenade, named after the country’s premiere Cricketing hero. The promenade is flanked by Independence Square - not really a square at all, but rather two long streets bordering a it. At Independence Square you can pick up a taxi, find travel agents, banks and cheap eats.

The city is crowned by the Queen's Park Savannah, once part of a sugar plantation and now a public park which undergoes a miraculous annul conversion, making it the centre of the Carnival celebrations. Largely an expansive grassy field, the park itself is home to a number of sporting clubs with playing fields for Rugby, Soccer, Hockey, track and field and other disciplines. The perimeter of this savannah has been converted to a large outdoor gym with hundreds keep-fit enthusiasts conquering it 5 km distance daily. In the park's northwest corner there's a small rock garden with a lily pond and benches. Along its western side is the Magnificent Seven, a line of seven fancy colonial buildings, including Stollmeyer's Castle, patterned after a wing of the Balmoral Castle in Scotland, complete with turrets.
