You can visit Devon House (the grounds are absolutely beautiful), Bob Marley Museum and Port Royal (have lunch at Gloria's)...this would all make for a nice trip there. Note. De Music Buzz is no longer running tours.

As far as safety...we're there almost every month for a couple of days at a time. I would say that it's like any large city...you need to stay out of areas that are not recommended...Jamaicans are also very good at stopping you from wandering around areas you shouldn't.

Have fun!
Totally agree with the above. Kingston is not to be missed. National Gallery and Emancipation Park also good. If you go to Devon House you MUST try the ice cream and do the tour. Hot Pot restaurant in New Kingston for good Jamaican food. Scotchies in New Kingston for good jerk. Just use the same common sense that you would in any strange city.
