What to buy: I bought a good map for driving around in the car at Page's bookstore. I got crystal from the UK for my DIL's birthday from the gift shop. I got emerald jewelry for my daughter whose birthday is in May from the Columbian Emerald outlet in the store.

I had the crystal shipped, and it arrived in good shape.

What to pay: Some of the items are duty free.

Broad Street is Bridgetown is dotted along its length with duty free shops. You name your duty free of choice and this is the place to come and purchase it : jewellery, alcohol, tobacco products, perfume, etc.

Shops are generally open Monday to Friday 9:00am to 5:00pm and Saturday 9:00am to 1:00pm. Shops are generally closed on Sunday.

What to buy: Its worth noting that many of the products are available cheaper elsewhere. Barbadian rum is best purchased from one of the supermarkets to get the best price.

What to pay: Standard duty free prices.

This seems to be typical of the Caribbean, in that I mean duty-free shopping. There's the typical touristy stuff that it sold here. You can find lots of duty free shopping next to the cruise ship dock. There's a post office located here as well as well as a mailbox.

This is a busy shopping street in the centre of Bridgetown. There's nothing particularly touristy about it, just clothes shops, a variety store and other things you would find in a mall of this kind anywhere else. I guess the main attraction is just watching the Bajans go about their business.
