Enjoying yourself Trinidad & Tobago

Most restaurants are open from 11am to 10pm, but in the center of Port of Spain, things are a little different. Many restaurants only open for lunch. Most are closed on Sundays, with the exception of tourist areas like Crown Point, where business is not dependent on office workers but rather on passing tourists.

For lunch in the cities, it's best to wait until 2 p.m. to avoid the crowds of office workers on their lunch break.

Many of the country's bars offer happy hour , which often lasts from 5pm to 8pm. This is an opportunity to discover the wide range of rum-based concoctions enjoyed by Tribagonians and visitors alike. Mondays and Tuesdays are generally the least festive days, except in very high season such as Christmas.

(To) please yourself Trinidad & Tobago

In Trinidad, shopping is often done in shopping malls, which are becoming more and more numerous and which open at very traditional times from 10am to 7 or 8pm. If you don't want to be in the crowd, you should go during the week, because on weekends it is a family activity to go to the mall.
