A trip to the Bahamas is like a trip to paradise. This tropical paradise is located about 150 miles east of Miami. Its standout attractions include its 700 islands brimming with white-sand beaches, bright flowers, palm trees, and turquoise waters. Its climate stays at near-perfect temperatures year-round with a thriving resort community.
In addition to its picturesque landscapes and unmatched climate, the following tourist spots attract visitors to the Bahamas:
Nassau.
Nassau is the nation’s capital. It is located on the island of New Providence. This city is a beautiful combination of old world charm and modern conveniences. A variety of Bahamian attractions are offered in this city, such as preserved colonial buildings mixed with world-class hotels and resorts, countless dining options, shopping, and entertainment.
Nassau via the bridge is also connected to Paradise Island, which also offers some of the most glamorous resorts, restaurants, and nightlife. It is everything a tourist will want on their Bahamas vacation.
Freeport, Grand Bahama Islands
In the Bahamas, the second most popular tourist destination is Freeport, Grand Bahama Islands. Freeport is a city designed to be modern and vibrant, much like Paradise Island but quite the opposite of Nassau. This city is home to several world-class resorts, two large casinos, excellent golf courses, and tons of entertainment. Many resorts offer all-inclusive Bahamas vacations with lunch, dinner, activities, and entertainment as part of the package.
Both Nassau and Freeport have international airports which make these two cities more accessible. Nassau International Airport and Freeport International Airport are the only airports in the Bahamas that receive flights from outside the Caribbean. European travelers are recommended to connect in Miami for their Bahamas vacation.

Grand Bahama also serves as seventh heaven for lovers of water sports. Water skiing, scuba diving, boating, snorkeling, and deep sea fishing are exciting activities here.
