Antigua and Barbuda Essentials

Antigua and Barbuda’s heritage is defined by the UNESCO-listed Nelson's Dockyard and the 18th-century fortifications of Shirley Heights and Fort James. Cultural landmarks include the baroque St. John's Cathedral and the historic Betty’s Hope sugarcane plantation. Natural highlights range from the limestone formations of Devil's Bridge to the island's highest peak, Mount Obama. For recreation, the selection includes the white sands of Dickenson Bay, the cricket grounds of Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, and marine encounters at Stingray City.
