Mini-Guide To Nassau
Nassau, the capital city of the Bahamas, formerly known as Charles Town is a capital city quite unlike any other, with its eclectic mix of charm, old and new colonial style architecture and its port which is full of hustle and bustle. Situated on the New Providence Island, Nassau is a very popular destination for tourists from all over the world. Nassau is actually very close to the United States, since it is only 180 miles, or 290 kms, away from Miami. So there is an American influence here, as well as the old colonial influences. There are also the West Indian cultural influences which all blend together to form a city which is full of grace and charm yet is home to only just over 200,000 people. It is a very compact city and one which is easy to navigate.
