Georgetown

Georgetown, the Atlantic gateway to Guyana, is known as the Garden City and blends cultures with 19th-century wooden colonial architecture.

This former British colony draws influences from Amerindians, Asia, Brazil, and more, making it a lively, welcoming destination.

The Natural History Museum is well worth a visit, as well as the world’s largest wooden cathedral and the thrumming Stabroek market.

Guyana Botanical Gardens feature giant Victoria Amazonica water lilies and local wildlife.

English is widely spoken, and friendly locals are usually up for a chat about Georgetown’s unique atmosphere.
