The Bahamas is an absolutely gorgeous island country to visit for a vacation, especially if you’re visiting for a few days during a cruise. Best of all, there are heaps of islands, towns and cities to explore whilst you’re there; case in point with Nassau. There are heaps of the best things to do in Nassau dotted all across the city; and even though it’s small, there’s loads to do for a long weekend trip to the Bahamas or as part of a wider cruise.
That being said, it’s also incredible as a standalone trip, with cities like Nassau being total gems to explore. In fact, Nassau acts as a sort of gateway city to explore wider New Providence Island and the Bahamas more generally.
So, to help you get the most out of your time visiting Nassau, I’m sharing the top places you have to visit once you arrive. Have the most amazing time visiting Nassau. The Bahamas is stunning.

For a bite to eat, head on over to Mckenzie’s Fresh Fish and Conch. It’s a very informal spot for lunch but they make some of the tastiest conch fritters and pan-fried grouper that’s freshly caught on the day.
If you’ve got more time, head east along the shoreline and visit Fort Montague. You’ll pay a few dollars to enter the historic fort but it’s so worth doing to get an overview of Nassau’s history and defences.

Today, you can head inside Fort Fincastle and wander around for 15 minutes. It’s so nice and easy to explore whilst visiting Nassau for a day. Plus, it’s right next to the Queen’s Staircase, too.
3.) Paradise Island
Just off the Northern Shores of Nassau (and New Providence Island) is Paradise Island. Connected by bridge, it’s one of the best things to do in Nassau if you fancy a more…
