<\/div><\/div>Brimming with colonial charm, natural wonders<\/h3>\n\nWhen you arrive in Barbados on an\u00a0MSC\u00a0Caribbean\u00a0and\u00a0Antilles\u00a0cruise<\/strong>, begin your exploration with the capital, Bridgetown. There are many attractions in this small Caribbean city, but by all means pause to admire its many colonial buildings, the Parliament Building and the statue of\u00a0Lord Nelson<\/strong>\u00a0standing in what is currently called the\u00a0National Heroes Square<\/strong>.<\/p>\nBarbados has retained somewhat of a British feel, with its place names, cricket, horse-racing and polo, Anglican parish churches and even a hilly district known as Scotland. But the Britishness can be exaggerated, for this is a distinctly West Indian country, covered by a patch-work of sugarcane fields and dotted with tiny rum shops.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Garrison Historic Area<\/strong>, a\u00a0UNESCO World Heritage Site\u00a0<\/strong>with magnificent 18th- and 19th-century buildings, is a must-see stop, featuring one of the world’s finest collection of cannons. It also includes the George Washington House, where the American patriot spent six weeks of his life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
