Ins & Outs of Trinidad & Tobago

April 12, 2024


Let your senses be your tour guide. T&T life beckons both locals and tourists with a myriad of opportunities for an unforgettable experience. From vibrant markets and rich historical sites to a thriving arts scene and a culinary explosion, the twin islands cater to diverse tastes.

Explore the enchanting Green Market Santa Cruz or the kaleidoscopic NAMDEVCO Market for a market trip that transforms into a lifetime memory. T&T turns every outing into a cool lime, whether it’s a leisurely stroll along Chaguaramas Boardwalk, an afternoon tea at the Angelo Bissessarsingh House, or a visit to one of the oldest religious buildings. Ensure your vacation itinerary has room for a variety of activities because cultural gems are waiting to be unearthed.

The ideal T&T getaway seamlessly blends natural wonders like the enchanting Gasparee Caves and the blue-green seas of Down the Islands. Embrace Trinbagonians’ pride in their culture by supporting local artists, designers, and craftspeople at pop-up events like UpMarket and South Market. Unique Trini Christmas gifts await at BITS and Pieces in November.

No trip to T&T is complete without indulging in its exquisite cuisine. From the popular Doubles at the Doubles Strip in Debe to Syrian-spiced gyros and traditional corn soup, the culinary journey is a treat for all palates. Explore street food spots along Ariapita Avenue, Eddie Hart Food Village and D’Cross in San Fernando or even embark on a Brasso Seco Chocolate Tour to taste your way through the chocolate-making process.

In T&T, life is guided by the senses. Let them lead you through the Horticultural Society of T&T (HSTT), a haven for gardening enthusiasts. From fresh-cut flowers to a variety of plants, soil, and more, the HSTT offers a diverse selection. Purchase a floral arrangement from HSTT, known for over a century for dominating international flower exhibitions, earning yet another gold medal at the Royal Horticultural Society 2023 Chelsea Flower Show. Visit their headquarters on Lady Chancellor Road in St. Clair, open Thursday to Saturday from 6 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and witness the Garden of Eden come to life.
