Get in

Take a plane from many places in the U.S. JetBlue, U.S. Airways, and many other airlines have flights to Nassau.

Get around

Take a jittney bus. Jittney buses are local buses that are very cheap. They are $1 per ride. You could also rent a car. All major U.S car rental shops are in Nassau. Scooter (weak motorcycle) rental is also popular in Nassau. However, bicycle rental is not popular and not recommended as traffic is bad, there are many blind corners in the old streets of Nassau, and cars drive recklessely and on the left side of the road, which you may not be used to.

Within downtown Nassau, you could walk around. Distances are very short and a walking tour is a pleasant way of exploring downtown Nassau.

See

• Paradise Island is the main tourist attraction for visitors to Nassau. Located just across a bridge from Nassau, it is home to the lavish Atlantis hotel and resort.
• Take a walk around Old Town, an interesting mixture of abandoned buildings and bright Caribbean structures. It doesn't take long to get away from the over-scrubbed tourist areas in the very center. Walk ten minutes uphill to the pink Parliament Building.
• Check out the cheesy but fun Pirate Museum.

Do

The bus tours are pretty interesting. They'll drive you around, and tell you about the local government, tell you about different points of interest, and take you to old forts, and to Paradise Island, to see the big fancy hotel, with a huge aquariam. It's neat.

Buy

• Check out the Straw Marketfor touristy bric-a-brac.

Watch what you buy here, especially from side stands set up by locals. A lot of times, they'll buy things from shops downtown, and sell them for a few dollars more. They accept American currency in Nassau because their own dollar is directly influenced by so much US tourism.

Eat

Get out of the hotel and try real Bahamaian fare. You can get greasy fish, sides and desserts at one of the holes-in-the-wall in downtown Nassau for around $8. On the upscale side, there's no shortage of waterside seafood restaurants where it would be easy to part with $50 for an excellent piece of lobster. Subarros, McDonalds and Chinese restaurants are mixed in to satisfy the budget diner or someone who's simply sick of conch.

Drink

Nassau isn't a spring break mecca for nothing. The club scene is nightly and rowdy. Some popular establishments:

• Senior Frogs is right next to the cruise dock.
• Club Waterloo is on the north side of the island, about two miles from the dock.
• Cocktails and Dreams draws a sketcher crowd, although it is on the beach. Come here in a group.

Cover charges average an outrageous $20, although all major hotels sell "passes" for $5. With a pass, cover charge is only $5, so you actually pay $10. Most places on non-weekends only charge a $10 cover anyway, so the pass thing is unncessary.

You can also opt for an all-inclusive entertainment pass, which will include a . Expect to following this iternary with at least 5,000 other co-eds. (It might be a good idea to pick up this schedule even if you don't plan on participating. It will give you a good idea of places to avoid on certain nights.)

Alcohol is expensive in the Bahamas. Expect to pay at least $5 for a beer and $7 for a cocktail. The one caveat is rum, which is cheap and plentiful. Cocktails with rum might still be pricy at a club, but they will be strong.
