Nice place to make some memorable pictures. If you keep going you can see Parliament building and on your left will be a beautiful pier. If you like shopping you can find plenty of small shops on Liverpool street area. There is a “Duty Free Shop” that you can shop and save lots of money. They will ship some items to airport for you ( like alcohol) for your flight.

Located on Chamberlain Bridge...best known to locals as the Swing Bridge, in historical Bridgetown, the arch holds a significance to Barbados's Father of Independence and was commemorated on reaching 21 years of independence from Britain.
The arch depicts symbols and meaning of Barbados's heritage including the pledge and coat of arms, also embedded in the arch is a bronze plaque of the former leader and national hero...along with the Square bearing his statue.
Just opposite the arch in its photographic glory from here is the Parliament building as the swing bridge separates them....A must visit if you need to know a little history of the island.

Historic site close to many others. Nice to walk around in afternoon when it’s not as crowded.

Barbados is nice. friendly people, quality tourism service level and easy to connect with the local public. The bridge is actually the main center spot in town. a lovely scenic location. And a good spot to mention for a place to meet your travel partners. Like "see you on the bridge in 2 hours" cant miss!!

On the pedestrian bridge that takes you into Bridgetown. Good vantage point to take some photos. The tourist shops here are best to come to.
