Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, gives most visitors their first taste of the country, along with all of its rugged and lively charm. The already economically embattled capital was devastated by the 2010 earthquake, with rebuilding efforts ongoing and many of the city's poorer citizens still displaced. Despite the challenges (and there have been many) the city has been on the mend, with tourism beginning to pick up. For the tourists that do make the journey, Port-au-Prince more than satisfies. Rich in history and with diverse cultural influences, Port-au-Prince's attractions range from colonial-era buildings to lively local eateries serving the country's idiosyncratic cuisine. With the country's main airport located here, Port-au-Prince also acts as a gateway for explorations further afield. To arrange what you want to do in Port-au-Prince, use our Haiti day trip site.
