About Bahamas

Home to over 700 islands and 2,000 coral reefs, the mere mention of the Bahamas evokes thoughts of a turquoise ocean, palm-fringed beaches, clear blue skies, glorious coral reefs, and luxurious resorts. In recent years, however, the Bahamas is not only popular for its islands, but also for its high-quality medical care. It is known for its world-class medical centers, particularly since it is home to the first JCI accredited hospital in the Caribbean. These medical centers are fully equipped with cutting-edge equipment and highly skilled doctors. The cost of medical procedures in this country is significantly lower than in the UK and the US. Some of the most sought after procedures are Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery, Cardiac Surgery, and Total Knee/Hip Replacement Surgery.

Popular Cities and Regions in the Bahamas

The capital and largest city of the Bahamas, Nassau, offer a lovely mix of historic architecture, modern restaurants, and stunning beaches. Anyone who wants to learn more about the city’s history can visit the Pirates of Nassau Museum, or take a tour of Fort Charlotte, Fort Fincastle, and Fort Montagu. Those who want to relax can enjoy their day on Cable Beach or the Western Esplanade Beach. To discover Caribbean wildlife, Nassau also offers the Ardastra Gardens and Caribbean Birding Trail. Freeport, a city in the Grand Bahama, is also frequented by tourists. Some of the most popular attractions in this city are Garden of the Groves, Taino Beach, and Lucaya Beach.

Transport in the Bahamas

The largest international gateway into the Bahamas is Lynden Pindling International Airport. It serves flights to 16 domestic and 28 international destinations, including New York, Panama City, Toronto, and London. The only quick and convenient way to travel within the Bahamas, particularly if you need to travel between islands, is by plane. In New Providence and Grand Bahama Island, the jitney is the most popular transport option. These are public buses that can hold up to 32 people and operate from 6.30 am to 7 pm each day. On the Out Islands, no public transport is available, so visitors can only rely on taxis or rental cars. Taxis are widely available around the Bahamas and are quick and easy. Water taxis and ferries are also available, but they can be time-consuming and expensive.

Visas in the Bahamas

The Bahamas allows nationals of 120 countries, including Canada, China, Brazil, the US, Australia, the UK, Russia, and all EU countries, to visit and stay in the Bahamas for up to 3 months. Holders of passports issued by countries that are not listed in the visa exemption agreement are required to apply and obtain a visa prior to their arrival in the Bahamas.

Weather in the Bahamas

The Bahamas enjoys a tropical climate, with a dry and wet season. The average temperature is the same in both seasons, ranging between 24°C and 29°C. From November to June is the dry season in the country. The season is generally pleasant and almost always sunny, which is why it is also the peak season. The wet season, from July to November, sees the most rainfall. However, it still has many sunny days and rain is usually short-lived. In fact, the Bahamas enjoys around 340 days of sunshine a year.
