Najbolje vrijeme za posjet

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.

Savjeti za budžet

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.

O atrakciji

Brze činjenice: Nekada najbogatiji grad u britanskim kolonijama na Zapadu, Port Royal je 1692. godine progutao potres i tsunami za samo nekoliko minuta. Danas veći dio grada leži pod morem, a vjekovima kasnije ronioci još izvlače zlatnike i artefakte s njegovih potopljenih ulica.

Istaknuto: Ispod tihih talasa zaljeva skriven je jedini potpuno očuvani grad iz 17. vijeka na svijetu, sa zgradama koje su ostale netaknute od trenutka kada ih je more progutalo. Zaron na samo 12 metara dubine otkriva ciglene zidove, flaše ruma i komade porcelana koji su prije tri vijeka pripadali piratima i trgovcima.

Insajderski savjeti

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.
