Top Attractions in Georgetown
💡 Go mid-morning when the light filters through the stained glass. Ask a verger to let you climb the bell tower for wide views over the city.
💡 Bring a bag of roasted peanuts from the street vendors. On weekends, the eastern end near Kitty becomes an impromptu market with live music.
💡 Go before 10am to see the fish auction and avoid the heat. Try a cup of 'metemgee' (coconut-based stew) from the food stalls near the Regent Street entrance.
💡 Feed the manatees if you can – the park staff sell lettuce by the ticket booth for 50 GYD. Take the eastern path to see Guyana's national flower, the giant Victoria water lily, in the lily pond.
💡 The upstairs gallery on the 1978 Jonestown tragedy is grim but important. Budget 45 minutes total. No photography allowed inside.
