Port of Spain is the Caribbean capital of Trinidad and Tobago, on the island of Trinidad. Known for Carnival and steelpan, it also has big public spaces and major sports venues that anchor city life.
In town, Queen’s Park Savannah is a large urban park and a central Carnival venue, while Queen’s Park Oval is a historic Port of Spain cricket ground that hosts international matches. For time outdoors beyond the city, the Northern Range runs across Trinidad’s northern spine and sets up some of the island’s best mountain scenery.
Higher up, El Cerro del Aripo is Trinidad’s highest mountain, with a biodiverse cloud forest summit, and nearby El Tucuche is the second-highest mountain in Trinidad, also topped by rainforest. Off the northwest coast, Monos is a small Trinidad island with coastal forest and beaches.
