Kingstown

Kingstown stretches along a natural harbor on the southwestern coast of Saint Vincent island, surrounded by steep green hills and colonial architecture.

French settlers established the settlement after 1722, which later developed under British administration for nearly two centuries until national independence.

The Kingstown Market stands as a central gathering space where vendors display local produce, crafts, and traditional Caribbean merchandise throughout the week.

The Argyle International Airport connects Kingstown to North America and Europe, while cruise ships dock regularly at the deep-water harbor.

The Saint Vincent Botanical Gardens, dating from 1765, houses diverse plant species including descendants of the original breadfruit trees from Captain Bligh's expedition.
