Introducing Kingstown
Rough cobblestone streets, arched stone doorways and covered walkways conjure up a forgotten era of colonial rule. The city of Kingstown heaves and swells with a pulsing local community that bustles through its narrow streets and alleyways. Hot, stagnant air envelops the town, amplifying the sounds of car horns, street hucksters and the music filtering through the crowd.

Though not a tourist destination in itself, for nearly all visitors to SVG Kingstown is the gateway to exploring the outer islands of the Grenadines. This popular hub is frequented by locals and travelers who use the bank, stock up on supplies and have a taste of town before heading out into the quiet of the surrounding islands.
There is more tourist infrastructure a few miles down the road from Kingstown in the towns of Villa and Indian Bay – this is where you will find the majority of the resorts on the island.
