Situated on the southeastern coast of the island, Kingston, Jamaica, is the largest city by population and the capital of the country.

At first under Spanish rule, the English conquered the island in the seventeenth century and founded Kingston around the same time. The city has been the cultural and commercial centre of the country for many decades. The Norman Manley International Airport offers many international flight links; be prepared for long queues at the airport, since customs and immigration are fairly strict.

The city is divided into two major sections -- Uptown and Downtown. In Uptown, you will find modern restaurants, upper-class hotels, and tall business buildings. Downtown offers historic buildings, famous art museums, and worth-seeing local street markets. Since in some parts of Kingston the crime rate is high, it is recommendable to ask at the reception of your Kingston, Jamaica hostel about the best areas to go to and which areas should be avoided.
