Barbados Shopping

Shopping

Barbados is duty-free. Bridgetown offers the most dynamic shopping along Broad Street and along Princess Alice Highway to Pelican Craft Centre and the Cruise Ship Terminal (think upmarket crystal, perfume, and watches). Smaller towns like Holetown and St. Lawrence Gap offer Chattel House Villages specializing in local products. You’ll find vendors’ carts, stalls, and markets island-wide.
