Public transportation in Kingston is generally affordable and easy to navigate. But, if you’re looking for more flexibility, you can try renting a car or using a taxi. Many top tourist attractions in Kingston, like the Bob Marley Museum, Devon House, and Emancipation Park, are located near the city center and have easy access.

There are several Jamaican dishes you must try, such as the jerk chicken, which is a chicken that’s been seasoned with spices and grilled to get a distinctive flavor, often served with rice and vegetables.

Aside from the jerk chicken, you can also try ackee and saltfish, which is a dish made from ackee fruit and salted fish, usually served with bammy (cassava flatbread) or rice. Another top local specialty is the patties, a kind of pastry filled with meat, vegetables, or fish.

However, if you prefer seafood, you should try escovitch fish, a fried fish served with pickled vegetables.

You can visit the museums and art galleries in Kingston to delve into Jamaican culture and history. For example, going to the Bob Marley Museum. Additionally, participating in reggae or dancehall music events will also provide you with unforgettable experiences.

As in many places, respecting the local culture is key. In Jamaica, warm and friendly greetings are highly appreciated, so don’t forget to always offer greetings and smiles. You can start a conversation with “Wah gwaan?” which means “What’s going on?” or “How are you?” in Jamaican Patois dialect.

"Mi deh yah, yuh see mi?" means "I'm here, you know?" and can be used in response to that greeting. "Respect" or "Big up yuhself" are other phrases commonly used to show respect or appreciation. Additionally, dressing modestly in public and religious places is good etiquette.

Tipping in Kingston is optional but is generally appreciated, especially if you are satisfied with the service received. Typically, a tip of around 10-15% of the total bill is sufficient.
