Fort-de-France – Serce Martyniki
Fort-de-France to stolica wyspy Martynika, położona na jej południowym zachodzie. To malownicze miasto portowe łączy francuską elegancję z karaibską egzotyką. Spacerując po jego ulicach, można podziwiać starą architekturę, atmosferę lokalnych rynków i zapierające dech w piersiach widoki na zatokę. Główną atrakcją architektoniczną jest cytadela Fort-de-France, z której roztacza się panoramiczny widok na miasto i wyspę.
Dla turystów Fort-de-France oferuje bogate doświadczenie kulturowe: odwiedziny w muzeach, w tym w Muzeum Martyniki, poznawanie lokalnej kuchni i tradycji. Natura wyspy zachwyca: białe plaże, palmy, tropikalne lasy i wulkaniczne góry – wszystko to sprawia, że Fort-de-France jest idealnym miejscem na relaks i odkrywanie unikalnej karaibskiej kultury.

Bridgetown to stolica i największe miasto Barbadosu. Dawniej znane jako „Miasto św. Michała” (The Town of Saint Michael), obszar Greater Bridgetown znajduje się w parafii św. Michała. Miejscowi czasami nazywają je „Miastem” (The City), ale najczęściej po prostu „Town”. W 2014 roku populacja aglomeracji wynosiła około 110 000 mieszkańców.

Port Bridgetown znajduje się w zatoce Carlisle (13.106°N 59.632°W) na południowo-zachodnim wybrzeżu wyspy. Części obszaru Greater Bridgetown, ogólnie zdefiniowane przez obwodnicę (ABC Highway), leżą blisko granic sąsiednich parafii Christ Church i St. James. Międzynarodowe lotnisko Grantley Adams znajduje się 16 kilometrów na południowy wschód od centrum Bridgetown i oferuje codzienne loty do głównych miast Wielkiej Brytanii, USA, Kanady i Karaibów. Obecnie nie ma już lokalnych władz miejskich; Bridgetown jest okręgiem wyborczym w parlamencie krajowym. W latach 50. i 60. XX wieku, podczas istnienia Federacji Brytyjskich Terytoriów Indyjskich, Bridgetown było jednym z trzech miast rozważanych jako możliwa stolica federacji.

Obecna lokalizacja miasta została założona przez angielskich osadników w 1628 roku; wcześniejsza osada pod nadzorem Sir Williama Courtena znajdowała się w St. James Town. Bridgetown jest ważnym celem turystycznym na Karaibach, a także znaczącym centrum finansowym, informatycznym, konferencyjnym i portem dla statków wycieczkowych. 25 czerwca 2011 roku „Historyczne Bridgetown i jego garnizon” zostały wpisane na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO.

Dominica, officially the Commonwealth of Dominica, is an island country in the West Indies. The capital, Roseau, is located on the western side of the island. It is part of the Windward Islands in the Lesser Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean Sea. The island is located near Guadeloupe to the northwest and Martinique to the south-southeast. Its area is 750 km2 (290 sq mi), and the highest point is Morne Diablotins, at 1,447 m (4,747 ft) in elevation. The population was 71,293 at the 2011 census. The Commonwealth of Dominica is one of the Caribbean's few republics.

The island was originally inhabited by the Kalinago and later colonised by Europeans, predominantly by the French from the 1690s to 1763. Columbus is said to have passed the island on Sunday 3 November 1493, and the island's name is derived from the Latin for "Sunday". Great Britain took possession in 1763 after the Seven Years' War, and it gradually established English as its official language. The island republic gained independence in 1978.

Its name is pronounced with emphasis on the third syllable, related to its French name of Dominique. Dominica has been nicknamed the "Nature Isle of the Caribbean" for its natural environment. It is the youngest island in the Lesser Antilles, and in fact it is still being formed by geothermal-volcanic activity, as evidenced by the world's second-largest hot spring, called Boiling Lake. The island has lush mountainous rainforests, and it is the home of many rare plants, animals, and bird species. There are xeric areas in some of the western coastal regions, but heavy rainfall occurs inland. The Sisserou parrot, also known as the imperial amazon and found only on Dominica, is the island's national bird and featured on the national flag, which is one of only two national flags containing the color purple.

Antigua is an island in the West Indies. It is one of the Leeward Islands in the Caribbean region and the main island of the country of Antigua and Barbuda. Antigua and Barbuda became an independent state within the Commonwealth of Nations on 1 November 1981.

Antigua means "ancient" in Spanish after an icon in Seville Cathedral, "Santa Maria de la Antigua" — St. Mary of the Old Cathedral. The name Waladli comes from the indigenous inhabitants and means approximately "our own". The island's circumference is roughly 87 km (54 mi) and its area 281 km2 (108 sq mi). Its populationwas 80,161 (at the 2011 Census). The economy is mainly reliant on tourism, with the agricultural sector serving the domestic market.

Over 32,000 people live in the capital city, St. John's. The capital is situated in the north-west and has a deep harbour which is able to accommodate large cruise ships. Other leading population settlements are All Saints (3,412) and Liberta(2,239), according to the 2001 census.

English Harbour on the south-eastern coast is famed for its protected shelter during violent storms. It is the site of a restored British colonial naval station called "Nelson's Dockyard" after Captain Horatio Nelson. Today English Harbour and the neighbouring village of Falmouth are known as a yachting and sailing destination and provisioning centre. During Antigua Sailing Week, at the end of April and beginning of May, an annual regatta brings a number of sailing vessels and sailors to the island to play sports.

On 6 September 2017, the Category 5 Hurricane Irma destroyed 90 percent of the buildings on the island of Barbuda. Residents were evacuated to Antigua.
