Creator's Key Takeaways

If you've never been here before, it can feel a little overwhelming, but honestly, they're mostly harmless. They're not trying to scam anyone walking by.

The Queen's staircase was carved by enslaved people between 1793 and 1795. Using hand tools alone, they cut 66 steps directly into the solid limestone rock.

If you're in Nassau, I'd recommend using the official taxi stand located inside the cruiseport area. It's a little more organized and easier for firsttime visitors.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use the official taxi stand located inside the cruiseport area for a more organized experience.

✓Wear sturdy footwear rather than flip-flops when climbing the Queen's Staircase due to uneven steps.

✓Be aware that traffic drives on the left side of the road in the Bahamas.

✓Walk through the straw market to experience the local culture and souvenir shopping.
