When to visit

The best time to visit Nassau is during the winter months from December to April when the weather is dry and temperatures are mild, ranging from 70-80°F. The summer months from June to August can be hot and humid with occasional rain showers. Hurricane season in the Bahamas runs from June to November, so it's best to avoid visiting during this time.

Getting around

Getting around Nassau is easy with options like taxis, rental cars, and public buses. Taxis are readily available and can be found at hotels, the airport, and popular tourist areas. Rental cars are a convenient way to explore the island at your own pace, but be prepared to drive on the left side of the road. Public buses, known as jitneys, are a budget-friendly option for getting around Nassau and run on set routes throughout the island.

Traveller tips

When visiting Nassau, be sure to pack sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun. It's also a good idea to carry cash as some smaller vendors may not accept credit cards. Respect the local customs and dress modestly when visiting religious sites. Be cautious of street vendors and avoid purchasing items from unauthorized sellers. Lastly, be mindful of your belongings in crowded tourist areas to prevent theft.
