Practical tips for Bahamas
- The Bahamian Dollar is pegged 1:1 with the US Dollar, and both currencies are accepted interchangeably everywhere, though you will often receive change in Bahamian notes.
- In Nassau, take the brightly decorated 'jitney' buses for an inexpensive and authentic ride around town, but note they stop running around 6:00 PM.
- Remember that vehicles drive on the left side of the road in the Bahamas, a holdover from British rule, so look both ways carefully before crossing streets.
