The Queen's Staircase in Nassau is a must-see historic spot with 66 steps carved out of limestone by 600 slaves between 1793 and 1794. Originally created as an escape route from the fort above, it’s now a major landmark. Located near Bennet's Hill, the staircase features water cascading down to a pool below, surrounded by lush tropical plants and trees.

Named in honor of Queen Victoria in the 19th century, the staircase commemorates her reign and the abolition of slavery in the British Empire. If you visit, you might run into Island Boy, an independent Bahamian tour guide who often hangs out there. He’s full of stories about the history of the landmark and the Bahamas—definitely worth chatting with to get the local scoop. You'll recognize him by his patriotic choice of clothing and accessories showcasing the Bahamian flag. For a peaceful experience, try going early in the morning before the crowds arrive; it’s a great way to appreciate the history and beauty of this unique site.
