Cruise Ship Berths
The town of Kingstown has a well-maintained cruise terminal, which houses small shops as well as a tourist information office. The shops mainly sell local goods and souvenirs. The pier jutting into the bay offers space for two cruise ships. This means that the berths are right next to the town. If all available berths are already reserved and/or occupied, it may also happen that anchoring takes place on site, i.e. the own ship lies at anchor. In this case, the guests are brought ashore with the tender boats. This often means that excursions or shore excursions undertaken on your own may be delayed. In order to be able to keep to the schedules of the tours booked and carried out with the respective shipping companies, these excursionists are preferably brought ashore first.

- Bus Transport
The minibuses that operate on St. Vincent are privately owned and most of them are artistically designed by their owners. They run very irregularly and start in Kingstown from the bus station at the local fish market in all directions to the larger towns on the island. There are no fixed timetables or bus stops. To catch a bus, stop it with a wave of the arm, and if you want to get off, just tell the driver. Fares are quite reasonable and range from 1 to 10 EC dollars per person, depending on the route and distance. Buses do not run on Sundays and public holidays.

- Taxi
Taxis are similar to minibuses, with the prices quoted being for 1-4 people. There are usually plenty of taxis waiting at the berth when a cruise ship arrives. Although fixed fares should apply between the main destinations, it is still advisable to clarify the fare before travelling. Taximeters are not available in the vehicles and often the drivers offer themselves for island tours. This is usually charged at 40-50 EC dollars per hour. Fares are often offered at lower rates away from the berth.

- Local Driving Licence
The island has left-hand traffic, which can also take some getting used to for pedestrians. If you want to rent a car, you need a local driver's licence. This costs 65 Eastern Caribbean dollars and can be obtained in Halifax Street at the Licensing Authority and/or in Bay Street at the local police station. In addition, rental car providers can assist in obtaining one. The basic requirement for obtaining one is the possession and presentation of a valid driving licence from one's home country.

- Kingstown Centre
Big shopping trips are not possible in Kingstown and you won't find any huge shopping malls in the small capital. Nevertheless, there are a few shops, bars and restaurants, and most of them are in the centre of town. Most of the activity takes place on Grenville Street / Halifax Street, Middle Street and Bay Street. The New Central Market building is right in the middle. Here, a weekly market for all kinds of goods takes place every day except Sundays, from 06:00-18:00. Fresh produce, such as fruit and vegetables, clothing and some handmade accessories are on offer. In the morning hours, as well as on Friday and Saturday, there is a lively and busy hustle and bustle. The nearby fish market is similar. The centre of Kingstown is not far from the mooring and can be reached on foot in about 15 minutes.

Carnival and the like are killing places like this with all their shopping malls. I love St Vincent and all the other Islands.
The port had changed a lot since I was last there. In my opinion, it’s for the worst. I know this makes jobs but it kills the atmosphere and originality of the place. I like to get involved at grassroots with the locals. This kind of alteration just makes me want to cry. No longer sitting with the local people and having a beer on a bench by the side of the road.
