Imagine having that one friend who knows every nook and cranny of their hometown—that’s us for Haiti. Our city guides are crafted by local experts who share all the hidden spots you won’t find on other travel guides.
Since celebrating its 350th anniversary in 2020, Cap-Haïtien has become Haiti’s top travel destination. As Haiti’s second-largest city, it draws visitors with its rich history, world-class beaches, and UNESCO heritage sites. Join us as we take a swooping dive into the heart of the city and learn how it earned its well-deserved title as Haiti’s second city.
A horseshoe-shaped bay set into the northern coastline, Labadee is the beach of choice for the cruise ships that regularly call at Haiti.
The beach stretches over a mile of soft, silky sand, and crystal-clear blue waters. Labadee Beach is on the same coast as the beautiful Cormier beach, but offers a unique array of attractions catering to visitors who arrive on the cruise ships.
Just a two-hour flight from Miami, Port-au-Prince will probably be your first stop in Haiti, and the best way to find the pulse of a country is to take a few steps in its capital city.
About 1 million people live in the metropolitan area, with another 1.5 million living on the surrounding hills and coastline. Although some areas are troubled (as with any populous city), Port-au-Prince has several upmarket districts where visitors can safely stay and explore on their own.
At the end of a 180-mile journey west along Haiti’s southern peninsula, Jérémie is a busy coastal town with mountains cascading at its back. Known as the City of Poets due to the many renowned Haitian authors who hail from here, Jérémie boasts a rich literary heritage.
This city, full of history and character, is also the birthplace of General Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, the father of the celebrated Alexandre Dumas. You’ll want to dedicate a couple of days to fully explore this culturally significant destination.
The far south of Haiti (west of Jacmel and Les Cayes) isn’t as visited by travelers as the rest of the country, but it is just as worthy of being a destination. The pretty little city of Pestel is one of our favorites. From its rustic seaside markets to unique, unexpected places to explore like nearby caves and islands, Pestel is a place not to be missed if you’re touring Haiti’s southeast.
