Out and About in Port au Prince

Although many of Port au Prince's famous monuments, including the National Palace, were tragically destroyed in the 2010 earthquake, there are countless other experiences to squeeze into your visit. The Musée du Panthéon National Haïtien is an excellent and comprehensive look at Haitian culture and Caribbean history. To savor the local art, visit the sculptors of Grand Rue, where you can wonder at thought-provoking modern art composed entirely of salvaged materials. If you relish bustling marketplaces, head over to the Marché de Fer, a striking red iron structure that was originally built in Paris for a railway station in Cairo, Egypt but was instead brought over to Haiti in the late 1800s. Here you can find artisanal crafts and voodoo paraphernalia galore, so take it all in and maybe buy a few souvenirs to take home.

Eating and Drinking

The Marché de Fer is also the perfect place to try the local cuisine. No trip to Port au Prince would be complete without sampling the food, which is an eclectic mix with roots in the French, African, and Spanish traditions. Rice and beans are a staple of many dishes, and you'll also find thick stews and various fried meats, often complemented with pikliz (spicy pickled vegetables) and fried plantains. Don't forget to try crémas, a creamy coconut-flavored alcoholic beverage native to the region. Not sure which of the many hotels in Port au Prince to choose?
