10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Port of Spain That You Shouldn't Miss
Port of Spain, the capital of Trinidad and Tobago, has the tall buildings, neon lights and crowded streets of many cities, but also a multicultural Caribbean character and a homegrown calypso soundtrack. The best-known occasion is the flamboyant pre-Lenten Carnival. Among the city's other offerings are cricket and football matches, year-round festivals, a botanic garden, malls, an art and history museum and historic buildings. Entertainment options abound, but be cautious after dark.

This popular beach spot fulfills the fantasy of the ideal Caribbean beach, but is just as famous for the scenic rainforest drive that must be made to reach it.

Always a blast. The most popular beach on the island. It's absolutely beautiful. Go for a walk, have something to eat, dance all under the watchful eyes of the skilled life guards. Just go, you won't regret it.
4. Dattatreya Temple and Hanuman Statue

Reviewed By GeneralShamu - New York City, United States
This is along the way from the tar pit back towards PoS where you stop to take the boat on the swamp tour for the birds. You need about half an hour here. Key things to note - don't touch the flowers given this is a holy area within the initial gate, take off the shoes if you want to enter the temple, and bring some bread or crackers to feed the fish that come up to the shoreline to the right side of the temple (right side when facing it upon entering).

This is a once in a life time experience. The scarlet ibis fly in to roost in islands S in the swamp. They come by the thousands. It is truly amazing to watch. We also saw blue herons, hawks, an osprey, great white heron, long nosed bat, snowy egrets, flamingos and a silky anteater. It was a perfect day
6. Fort George

Reviewed By SteveRainville99 - Orlando, United States
Even though the winding tiny narrow road up and down the mountain is one of the most dangerous roads in Trinidad, once up there, it is totally worth it! It only took 10 minutes from the bottom to the top, and the grounds are well kept and preserved. The cannons are still there over looking the city. The house is beautiful, and the tiny prison that was only used to keep important documents and not prisoners was pretty cool!

This park features mansions from the Spanish colonial era, interesting stores and street vendors.
Reviewed By gaytreemaharaj
The Queen’s Park Savannah is always full of energy with something always happening. The vendors sell the best food and you can get the freshest coconuts around the Savannah. You can get a great workout by walking or jogging around the biggest roundabout in the world and do some sightseeing all at once, since some of Trinidad’s magnificent seven buildings, including castles are located around the Savannah.

Within recent years the zoo has improved dramatically, in addition to gaining new attractions the facilities are constantly being improved. Alot of maps placed on walk paths ensure, you know where you are, lots of seating and clean bathrooms are some of the fantastic amenities. The animals are well tended and the enclosures are cleaned frequently. All of the staff we encountered were friendly and willing to share their knowledge about their animals. It is a lovely zoo that is really always trying to improve. Always worth a visit!

Escape the hustle and bustle and smoggy air and heat as you journey into the Maracas Valley to the Maracas Waterfall. The air is literally lighter, cooler and just plain refreshing. and easy hike, 20 min in from the trail head with slight to moderate incline. Be rewarded at the end of your journey with a nice cool refreshing bath at the falls and an amazingly epic view.
