Your hotel in Port-au-Prince

While the island itself is an invitation to travel with its incredible climate and natural setting, its points of interest are well worth visiting to enrich your days.

Start with a visit to the Museum of the Haitian National Pantheon, dedicated to the memory of the "Fathers of the Nation". Many relics are on display, such as the anchor of the Santa Maria, Christopher Columbus's famous ship. As the story goes, this ship landed on the shores of Haiti on Christmas Eve 1492. Continue with the art gallery, the Galerie Marras, which features wrought-iron creations, experimental works and voodoo flags. Art holds an important place on the island, and artists are committed to creating new works. A living witness to the life of the Haitian people, their hope and their joie de vivre, this museum is a must during your stay at a hotel in Port-au-Prince. To learn more about local culture and life, head to the National Museum of Haiti, inaugurated in 1938. The entire history of the island is traced there from the pre-Columbian period. It is the ideal site for history buffs, particularly regarding European colonisation.

Finally, make a detour to the Iron Market to mingle with the locals. More than 150 years old, this market is an institution that combines cultural experience and gastronomic discovery. And if time allows, Bassin Bleu with its natural pools and Lake Azuéi deserve to be fully appreciated, as does Saut-d'Eau and its impressive waterfalls.
