One of the favourite areas to stay in is central San Fernando, where visitors can soak up the city's lively atmosphere, with easy access to shopping centres, street food, and local markets. The accommodation options here range from quaint guesthouses to more refined hotels.
For those looking for a serene retreat, the hilly regions surrounding San Fernando, such as Tarouba and Union Hall, offer spectacular views of the city and the Gulf of Paria. These residential areas provide a quieter base for visitors, with comfortable bed and breakfasts and villas that cater to tourists seeking both relaxation and a taste of local life.
Closer to the coast, Vista Bella and La Romaine are excellent choices for travellers interested in the seaside experience. Here, visitors can find beachfront guest accommodations and luxury apartments that provide a peaceful escape with the convenience of city amenities not too far away.
Getting around San Fernando is relatively straightforward. The city is walkable, especially within the central areas where attractions and services are within close proximity. Public transport includes regular bus services and the iconic 'maxi taxis'—shared minibuses that are an affordable way to travel longer distances. For more flexibility and comfort, renting a car is also an option, though traffic can be congested during peak hours. Some accommodations may offer shuttle services, and taxis are readily available for private trips across the city.
