Pottinger Street, named after Hong Kong’s first Governor in 1854, is affectionately known as 'Stone Slabs Street' due to its distinctive granite stone steps. This is one of the district's most iconic and photogenic streets, offering a glimpse into the area's rich history. A short 10-minute walk from here leads to Hollywood Road, where you can explore significant colonial-era architecture at the Central Police Station and Victoria Prison.

There are not ATM machines in the port premises, but a short walk into Basseterre will take you to the local banks which all have machines. Most ATMs give local currency, although there are a few ones giving US dollars for a service fee.

Founded in 1670, the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is one of the world's oldest and most respected scientific gardens in the world. Its beautifully landscaped grounds offer a serene escape with a rich collection of plants, from a world-famous rock garden to colourful rhododendron displays. The splendid Victorian Palm Houses are a major highlight, housing exotic flora (entry fee applies). A second key attraction is the modern, eco-friendly John Hope Gateway, which features exhibitions on biodiversity and sustainability. More than just a park, it's a living institution of global significance, perfect for a peaceful stroll or deeper exploration.
