Nassau, situated on the island of New Providence about 160 miles from Miami, is the cultural, social, political and economic center of The Bahamas, and as such is also the most visited destination within the islands. Over 300 years old, Nassau possesses both a historical colonial atmosphere and the feel of a modern tourist city. There is a multitude of sights and activities to experience in Nassau. These include unspoiled beaches, stylish resorts, duty-free shopping, museums and art galleries, colonial buildings, historical landmarks, and various land and sea sports. Nassau is home to some of the best shopping in the islands – there are shops that provide everything from modern electronics to straw goods, fresh produce and fish. Nassau has two resort areas – Paradise Island and Cable Beach. Paradise Island is connected to Nassau by two bridges; it is renowned for its spectacular beaches, golf course, and water park.
