Kingston is located on the southeast coast of Jamaica and is both the capital and largest city on the island. Founded in 1693 on the site of the much destroyed Port Royal, Kingston soon found itself the largest centre of trade and economy in Jamaica.
The city is divided into two parts, uptown and Downtown and is home to some fantastic restaurants and first class hotels.
The city does not have any beaches at all but does have a very lively club scene with many Reggae, Dub and Ska themes. For Bob Marley fans Kingston houses the official Bob Marley museum a place of homage to all of his followers.
Kingston is a city that has suffered much hardship and many problems related to drugs and gangs so as a visitor to the city it is worth being aware and sticking to the ‘tourist path’.
