Frequently asked questions
About Martinique
Martinique is a Caribbean island that is an overseas department of France. It is known for its stunning beaches, lush rainforests, and vibrant Creole culture. The official currency is the Euro. The island offers a unique blend of French and Caribbean influences, with delicious cuisine, rum distilleries, and colorful markets. Visitors can explore historic sites such as Fort-de-France, hike through the tropical rainforests of the Parc Naturel Regional de la Martinique, or relax on the beautiful white sand beaches.
When to visit
The best time to visit Martinique is during the dry season, which runs from December to May. During this time, the weather is warm and sunny, with temperatures ranging from the mid-70s to mid-80s Fahrenheit. The wet season, from June to November, brings higher temperatures and more rainfall, but it is still possible to enjoy the island's attractions. It is important to note that Martinique is located in the hurricane belt, so visitors should be aware of the potential for tropical storms during the hurricane season, which runs from June to November.
Getting around
Getting around Martinique is relatively easy, with a well-developed road network and public transportation system. The island has a comprehensive bus network that connects major towns and attractions. Taxis are also readily available, although they can be quite expensive. Renting a car is a popular option for exploring the island at your own pace. It is important to note that driving is on the right-hand side of the road in Martinique.
Traveller tips
Here are some tips for travelers visiting Martinique: Learn a few basic French phrases, as French is the official language of the island. Try the local cuisine, including dishes like accras (fried codfish fritters) and boudin (blood sausage). Pack sunscreen and insect repellent, as the sun can be strong and there are mosquitoes on the island. Take a day trip to the nearby island of Saint Lucia for a change of scenery. Visit the local markets to experience the vibrant culture and buy souvenirs. Respect the local customs and traditions, such as dressing modestly when visiting churches or religious sites.
