What to do and see in Georgetown, Demerara-Mahaica: The Best Budget-friendly Things to do

April 12, 2022 Brandee Mangan

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.

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.

All you need to know about Cheddi Jagan. I was thoroughly impressed with the museum guide knowledge and passion about this pass President. His life history is chronological and for me it was a wealth of history.To learn about the fight for equality and his people, visit this museum.

This Bridge is usually used by the Romantic during Courting and sometimes Proposals. Unfortunately I wasn't on a Romantic visit but just couldn't help taking out a photo on this iconic site.
