A day trip to Kingston can be wonderfully educational...it's a side of Jamaica that most visitors never see. We've taken friends that have loved it and some that were very intimidated by a large city.

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!
