Georgetown
Georgetown is the friendly capital city of Guyana, sitting right along the Atlantic coast. It is famous for its colorful wooden buildings and wide, tree-lined streets.
People love Georgetown for its grand white wooden cathedral, its busy market, and its mix of many cultures. It is the lively heart of the country where music, food, and history come together.
Tallest Wooden Church
St. George's Cathedral is one of the tallest wooden churches in the world, painted bright white. Inside, the cool air and soaring wooden arches make visitors look straight up in wonder.
The Sea Wall
A long sea wall protects the city because much of Georgetown sits just below the level of the ocean. In the evening families gather on the wall to fly kites and enjoy the sea breeze.
Busy Market Days
The famous Stabroek Market has a giant clock tower and stalls selling fruit, spices, and crafts. It is a great place to taste tropical treats and see the busy, cheerful side of the city.
