Nassau's sheltered harbor bustles with cruise ship hubbub, while a block away, broad, palm lined Bay Street is alive with commercial activity.  The shopping in Nassau is first rate, as fine imported goods and local crafts compete for attention right next to each other.  The historical sights, which are numerous, are centered around the downtown area.  This area has been renovated and rejuvenated in recent years, adding to its beauty and attractiveness.  Amidst the historic landmarks, chic cigar bars, fancy restaurants, suave clubs, and trendy coffeehouses are popping up everywhere.

No visit to Nassau would be complete without a trip to amazing Paradise Island.  This strip of land right off of Nassau's north coast has amazing beaches and casinos.  It is truly a world class playground.  These casinos and beaches are the most popular destination for most tourists, and the newly completed Atlantis casino and super-resort has attracted even more visitors.  The water is clear blue, and the beaches are perfectly white on Paradise Island.  Inside the casinos there's every type of game to choose from, as well as dozens of shows and attractions.
