A raincoat is far too inconvenient and besides, it is too hot to be wearing a jacket of any kind. Georgetown is the nicest of three Guyana capital cities. There are pretty colonial houses along the main street, Disneyland-like City Hall and St. George Cathedral to see. Promenade Gardens in the city center are small but full of flowers. Botanical gardesn are on the outskirts of the town, run-down but still worth to see.
Entry is free.
City minibuses have their terminal in front of Starbroek Market. Georgetown Tourist Office is now located at the corner of Camp and South Road. There are numerous trucks that travel this route even in the rainy season in order to deliver supplies to the miners in the interior, as such, there may be room for passengers on these trucks. The trip will take anywhere from 24 to 48 hourrs and the ride is rough. Do not take valuables or excess cash with you, and keep your passport and money in a money belt that you leave on your person at all times.
