The harbor-front complexes of Redcliffe Quay and Heritage Quay are the main centers of tourist activities. The beautiful Museum of Antigua and Barbuda, located within the Court House, is a must visit tourist site. It has artifacts from the colonial period till the time when the Arawak settlers inhabited this place. A visit to the nearby Caleta-de-Fuste will be truly worthwhile as the region’s beach area abounds in innumerable cafes, bars, shops, hotels, and restaurants. You can try your hands at scuba diving, sailing, and windsurfing over here. Another popular tourist destination is the English Harbor that once served as the base for British Navy. Check in at any of the Antigua holiday rental to spend an amazing holiday away from the hustle and bustle of the busy city life.
For shopping and dining, St John's is the ideal place for the vacationers. A farmer’s market sits on every Friday and Saturday morning on the southern part of the city where you can buy fresh tropical fruits as well as some of the very beautiful locally made handicrafts. To take a gastronomic tour of the city, book Antigua holiday apartments during the annual Antigua Culinary Festival, where you will come across a wide range of traditional and contemporary cuisine- typical of Antigua.
