The building of the Cayman Islands National Museum dates back to the 1800s and is a focal point of George Town. Every history tour of the island will make a stop here, since the museum is dedicated to the preservation, research and display of all aspects of Caymanian heritage, both cultural and natural. As a bonus, you can buy one-of-a-kind souvenirs at the gift shop of the museum, including a beautiful selection of ornate Caymanite jewellery and gifts. The proceeds go to finance museum maintenance and educational programs.

The Cayman Turtle Centre is a conservation facility and tourist attraction that welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors per year. Although the facility was initially used to breed the endangered green sea turtle for commercial purposes and still continues to operate as a farming operation, its importance as a research and conservation facility cannot be overstated.

There is a bustling fish market in the Vieux Port (old port) well worth exploring. The intense smell of fish and salty sea breeze contributes to making this experience engaging to the senses. Why not buy some fresh fish and try your hand at the local speciality fish stew (bouillabaisse)?
