Port of Spain

Port of Spain, on Trinidad's northwest coast, is the capital city of Trinidad and Tobago. It's known for its huge Carnival, with calypso and Caribbean soca music. Bordering the expansive Queen's Park Savannah, the Royal Botanic Gardens displays plants from all over the world. The gardens also encompass Emperor Valley Zoo. The “Magnificent Seven,” near Queen's Park, is a row of extravagant mansions from around 1900.
