📍 Destination Overview
Kingston, Jamaica's capital at the foot of the Blue Mountains, is the Caribbean's most musical city. Birthplace of reggae, it houses the Bob Marley Museum in the legend's former home, while historic Port Royal, once a pirate stronghold, tells of colonial adventure through its sunken forts. Devon House's colonial architecture and Emancipation Park's sculptures weave a multicultural whole.
