Things to do in Norman Manley International Airport
Kingston is Jamaica's gritty, creative capital — not a resort city but the real heart of Jamaican culture. The Bob Marley Museum on Hope Road (in Marley's former home) is the most moving music museum in the Caribbean, with his bedroom, rehearsal room, and bullet-holed walls preserved. The National Gallery of Jamaica has the finest collection of Caribbean art, and Devon House mansion has Jamaica's best ice cream. The Blue Mountains looming above the city are a world-class coffee-growing region.
