Airport travel guide
A mixture of Caribbean and French heritage, Martinique is one of the most interesting places to visit in the region. Its colorful capital, Fort-de-France, is a delight in its own right but also provides easy access to some of the island’s loveliest nature. These are three of the island’s most interesting attractions:
- Fort Saint Louis. A seaside fortification dating back as early as 1638, this is perhaps the most notable historical structure in Fort-de-France. Despite its respectable age, it remains an active naval base, but parts of it are open to tourists and can be visited on a tour. Standing over Fort-de-France Bay and providing views of the sea below, the area is also home to a thriving green iguana colony. There are several other notable forts in and around the island’s capital.
- Balata Garden. Martinique is home to some stunning Caribbean nature, and some of it can be enjoyed without leaving the Fort-de-France area! Although not especially old — it dates back to the early 1980s — Balata is the most notable botanical garden in Martinique and features tropical plants both endemic to the island and from around the world, not least its collection of 300 different species of palms. Balata is north of the city center and can be reached by car in about 20 minutes.
- Regional Nature Park. Taking up a large portion of the island’s northwest, this is the most notable nature preserve of Martinique. Recognized as one of the 34 biodiversity hotspots on the planet, its wetlands, islets, and beaches are home to plenty of species of flora and fauna not found anywhere else in the world; popular inhabitants include the ravine rocket frog, pink toe tarantula, and Martinique oriole. The drive to the nearest corner of the park from Fort-de-France takes only about 15 minutes.
Top international routes
- Paris. The capital of France might be 6,760 km (4,260 mi) away from Guadeloupe, but more than 1.2 million tourists fly between the two every year.
- Fort-de-France. The capital of neighboring Martinique which, just like Guadeloupe, belongs to France, Fort-de-France is famous for its interesting architecture and large public gardens.
- Cayenne. Cayenne is the capital of French Guiana, another overseas territory of France. Unlike Guadeloupe and Martinique, however, it is located in the continent of South America and borders Suriname and Brazil.
- Miami. The largest city in Florida, Miami is one of the most popular travel destinations in all of the United States. Both Air France and American Airlines provide regular flights between the two destinations.
- Saint Martin. Another small Caribbean island, Saint Martin is shared between France (which owns the northern part of the island) and the Netherlands (that control the south). The island is famous for its beautiful beaches and relaxed vibe.
- Montreal. The second city of Canada is the largest French-speaking place in all of North America. Air Canada provide year-round flights between Guadeloupe and Montreal, and Air Transat fly seasonally.
