Things to do in Georgetown, Demerara-Mahaica: The Best Sights & Landmarks

May 30, 2021 Matilde Konrad

Although not a crowded Caribbean tourist spot, Georgetown is a unique city that serves as a perfect jumping point for ecotours into the South American interior. Its Victorian and Dutch Colonial architecture is detailed with louvered window shutters and brick and stone work. Built below the high tide level, the city is protected by a large seawall and drained by a grid of canals. Sundry goods can be found at the distinctive Stabroek Market, while the landmark Light House offers panoramic views.

Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception

Came to the midday service for ashes back in 2017 on Ash Wednesday. The cathedral was quite packed! The media was even present. They do love their media coverage here in this part of the world! Despite being sweltering, there are a few large fans around.

This is a historical building, tallest wooden building in the Caribbean, well worth taking a tour inside the building, its free to enter except during service when you will be asked to wait until the service finishes
