Port Royal
Bedste tid at besøge
It is best to come in the morning before 10 AM, before the tourist groups arrive and while the weather is most pleasant for a walk. On weekdays, you will have the entire place almost all to yourself.
Budgettips
Entry to the Port Royal museum costs about 10 USD per person, and on Saturdays there is a discount for locals. If you plan to visit multiple landmarks, the combined package with Fort Charles is more cost-effective.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Engang den rigeste by i de britiske kolonier i Vestindien, blev Port Royal i 1692 opslugt af et jordskælv og en tsunami på få minutter. I dag ligger størstedelen af byen under vandet, og århundreder senere trækker dykkere stadig guldmønter og genstande op fra dens oversvømmede gader.
Højdepunkter: Under bølgernes stille overflade i bugten gemmer sig den eneste fuldstændigt bevarede by fra det 17. århundrede i verden, med bygninger der har stået urørt, siden havet slugte dem. Et dyk på kun 12 meters dybde afslører murstensvægge, romflasker og porcelænsstykker, der for tre århundreder siden tilhørte pirater og handelsmænd.
Insidertips
- Bring lightweight closed-toe shoes; the paths around the ruins are uneven and full of stones.
- Take the best photos of the sunken city from the pier in the early morning light when the sea is calmest.
- Skip the souvenir shop at the entrance; you will find more authentic souvenirs at the market in downtown Kingston.
- If you suffer from seasickness, take a pill before the boat ride to the nearby reefs.
