Are you traveling to Kingston alone? If you are, I’m sure you’ll leave with a few friends who are running the Reggae Marathon. But like with any solo traveling, you should always be aware of your surroundings.

Kingston is rich in culture, art, and history—perfect for intentional solo exploration. Prioritize well-traveled areas like New Kingston, Barbican, and Liguanea. Embrace local experiences like reggae nights, street food, and nature excursions but stay cautious and well-informed.

If you are into markets, look into Coronation Market or the Downtown Kingston Market. It’s open 24 hours a day! Find a local restaurant or bar that’s playing live reggae music and enjoy a Red Stripe. And as previously mentioned, don’t forget to check out the street art that can be found throughout the city. While you may have come to Kingston alone, you will find that you are never alone, you are amongst friends.
