Introduction
Kingston is the capital and largest city in Jamaica. It has about 700,000 inhabitants and is located on the southeast coast of the country. It was founded over 300 years ago. It is an ethnic diverse city with most people originating from their African ancestors, but with large quantities of Indians, Arabs and caucasians as well. Christianity is the main religion and the city has numerous churches to prove it. Although it can be a bit rough around the edges, with normal precautions it makes for a great experience to get to know the Jamaican culture and the Bob Marley Museum (there even is a Bob Marley statue) might just be the highlight of a trip to this city.
