Nassau
Located on New Providence island,
Nassau is the capital, and by a very considerable margin, the
largest city in the Bahamas. The population of Nassau, was
210,832 as of the
2000
census - over two thirds of the entire population of the Bahamas.
Nassau is a popular tourist destination, with a tropical climate, beautiful beaches,
and a historic colonial architecture, especialy in the harbor area. Additionally, on
December 26th
(Boxing Day)
and January 1st
(New Year's Day), the city is host to Junkanoo, a loud, colorful and musical street
parade (first made internationally famous by its appearance in the James Bond movie,
Thunderbird). Visitors can reach Nassau by using
Lynden Pindling International Airport which lies only 10 miles (16 kilometers) from downtown Nassau,
and which offers daily flights to
the USA,
the UK
and
Canada.
