Kingston
Few travelers—particularly Americans—take the time to visit Kingston, although organized day trips make the city accessible from Ocho Rios and Montego Bay. That’s understandable, as Kingston is a tough city to love. It’s big and, all too often, bad, with gang-controlled neighborhoods that are known to erupt into violence.
However, if you’ve seen other parts of the island and yearn to know more about the heart and soul of Jamaica, Kingston is worth a visit. This government and business center is also a cultural capital, home to numerous dance troupes, theaters, and museums. It’s also home to the University of the West Indies, one of the Caribbean’s largest universities. In many ways, Kingston reflects the true Jamaica—a wonderful cultural mix—more than the sunny havens of the North Coast. As one Jamaican put it, “You don’t really know Jamaica until you know Kingston.”
North of New Kingston, the city gives way to steep hills and magnificent homes. East of here, the views are even grander as the road winds into the Blue Mountains, one of the island’s least developed yet most beautiful regions.
