Beyond its world-famous carnival, Antigua has some remnants of its British colonial past, including old forts, the village of English Harbour, and its capital Saint John's.

Like nearly all the islands in the region, the destination is perfect for those seeking beachside relaxation.

Independent Travel

Antigua and Barbuda is a very easy destination for independent travel, ideal for first-time travellers. That said, backpacking isn’t particularly common or even widely appreciated here.

Package Tours and Honeymoons

All-Inclusive

While Antigua and Barbuda isn’t an all-inclusive destination for the French or most Europeans (except the British), it is popular for North American and Quebecois travellers. The west coast of Antigua, in particular, has developed a strong reputation for its beaches and diving.
