Antes de ir: consejos para Saint John's
Transporte
- Ride the local buses: Minibuses with BUS licence plates leave from the West Bus Station near the market; service is cheap but thins out in the evening and on Sundays.
- Fix taxi fares first: Antigua taxis are unmetered and use set rates, so confirm the price in EC dollars or US dollars before getting in at Heritage Quay.
- Get a local driving permit: To rent a car you need a temporary Antiguan permit, issued through rental firms; remember traffic drives on the left.
Seguridad
- Avoid manchineel trees: These beach trees have toxic apples and sap that can blister skin; never shelter under them in rain and look for red-ringed trunks.
- Watch valuables on the beach: Do not leave phones or bags unattended at Fort James, Dickenson Bay or Darkwood Beach while you swim.
- Take taxis after dark: Streets around downtown St. John's empty out at night when cruise ships leave; use a taxi recommended by your hotel instead of walking.
Ahorro
- Check the cruise ship schedule: When several ships dock at Heritage Quay, beaches and tours get crowded; plan downtown visits on quieter days.
- Eat local at the market: Stalls near the public market and roadside vendors sell johnnycakes, saltfish and ducana for much less than resort restaurants.
- Ride the bus to Darkwood Beach: The bus towards Jolly Harbour and the south-west coast reaches beautiful beaches for a fraction of a taxi fare.
Clima y ropa
- Visit in the dry season: December to April brings sunny, breezy weather and the best sailing, while summer is hotter and more humid.
- Plan for hurricane season: June to November carries a risk of tropical storms, peaking around September; buy travel insurance and watch the forecasts.
- Pack light and protect from sun: Bring breathable clothes, a hat, reef-safe sunscreen and mosquito repellent for evenings, especially after rain.
Cultura
- Try fungee and pepperpot: Antigua's national dish pairs cornmeal fungee with a rich vegetable and meat pepperpot stew; Saturday is a popular day to eat it.
- Cover up in town: Beachwear is for the beach; wear a shirt and shorts or a dress when walking around St. John's, shops and churches.
- Join Antigua Carnival: From late July to early August, Carnival celebrates emancipation with calypso, soca and J'ouvert morning parades through St. John's.
Trucos locales
- Go to Shirley Heights on Sunday: The Sunday evening party at the Shirley Heights lookout has steel band music, barbecue and sunset views over English Harbour.
- Shop the Saturday market: The public market at the south end of St. John's is busiest early Saturday; look for the sweet Antigua black pineapple.
- Pair Nelson's Dockyard with Galleon Beach: After touring the UNESCO-listed dockyard, take the short water taxi or walk over to Galleon Beach for a swim.
