Anchored by the Breakfast Shed and the Cathedral of the Immaculate this is the best way that I know to sample the real Trini life. Probably not the safest venue there is a large police presence, and as long as you don't try it at night I think the risk is definitely manageable. Be smart stay in a group if... More

Even though its location is a major point in the city of Port of Spain, we found too much congestion, loaded with cabs and pedestrians, too risky for tourist.

A shadow of its former self. Riffraff and beggars during the day, and it gets pretty seedy at night. If you really want to see it, take a car ride down the thru-road which passes thru it. Not much to see.

Not much reason to hang out there, be careful and travel in groups...alot of shady people watching your every move...

There is not much to do in the City of Trinidad, so this will show up on your list if you are there more than a day. It is dirty, but you get a flavor for the city. No shortage of counterfeit DVDs to be purchased along with counterfeit headphones (really bad quality counterfeits). Not a good selection of places... More
