Kingston's city life is among the best in the Caribbean. There are excellent restaurants, first class hotels and great shopping deals - try the Chelsea Galleries or the Sovereign Shopping Centre.
The city has a few excellent museums, such as Devon House, the National Gallery, or the Arawak museum. Bob Marley fans are in luck. Kingston has the one and only Bob Marley Museum (Bob Marley was a gifted Reggae musician). Jamaica has outstanding Christian musicians (some people call them Gospel musicians. Kingston is also the home of the Jamaica Campus of the University of the West Indies. In the harbour you can visit Fort Charles which has protected Jamaica against invaders since 1655. Port Royal is the former pirate hangout, now restored as yacht moorage and, naturally a bar.
Castleton Botanical Gardens, Hope Botanical Gardens and the Caymanas Park are the lungs of the city. Castleton is a wonderland of flowers and shrubs, Caymanas has horse racing on Wednesday, Saturday and holidays. World class cricket matches occur in Kingston, and there's lots of good football, too. Live outdoor theatre is especially entertaining. There's no reggae concerts anywhere; most reggae is by small house-bands, and it tends to be mixed with ska and Trinidad calypso in tourist areas. The dancing is excellent.
