Three Days A Quick Nassau Getaway
Just a few hours from many major US cities, Nassau makes a perfect quick 'n' dirty get-
away for a long weekend. Spend your first morning getting oriented with a self-guided
walking tour of the pastel-pretty colonial
downtown
. Learn about dastardly sea villains at
the
Pirates of Nassau
museum, then head up the
Queen's Staircase
to
Fort Fincastle
for
panoramic views over the harbor. In the afternoon, hit
Cable Beach
for sunning and water
sports, then head downtown for dinner at the atmospherically Gothic
Graycliff Restaur-
ant
(be sure to buy a stogie at the adjacent
cigar factory
). The next day, take the bridge
to Paradise Island for a day of theme-park fun at the enormous
Atlantis
resort. Ride on
waterslides, gawk at sharks through the lobby's aquarium windows, shop for duty-free dia-
monds and test your luck at the casino, then dine on avant-garde sushi at celebrity chef-run
Nobu
. On your last day, watch the famous flamingos march at
Ardastra Gardens, Zoo &
Conservation Park
then take an afternoon
snorkeling trip
to nearby reefs before hopping
on an evening flight back home.
