The boardwalk walk can be hot and long. Note the pier for the way back."],["Getting into Bridgetown","Town is about a 10-15 minute walk along the boardwalk or a 5-minute taxi for about US$6. The path is mostly flat. No regular public bus is listed from the pier for this hop. Taxis wait outside if the walk feels long. A printable map is available at the port."],["Taxis & ride apps","Taxis line up outside the terminal. A short ride into town is about US$6. Ride apps are limited. Name Bridgetown Port for the return. The rank is outside the terminal."],["What to do nearby","Walk the boardwalk into the capital for shops and the waterfront. Independence Square is nearby. This loop stays in town and needs no ticket. You can see the harbor without a tour."],["Going further","The airport is about 13 miles. Beaches and attractions are further by taxi. These take time. Book if you want a guided visit. Stay near the port if the ship has a short stay."],["Food & shopping","The waterfront and town have shops for duty-free and local crafts. Cafes serve local food. Carry small bills. Ask the price if no menu is posted. The terminal has some shops."],["Opening times & connectivity","Shops open about 9 to 5. English is spoken. WiFi is available in cafes.
