Discover Trinidad & Tobago 2016 — 25th Anniversary Edition
With our 2016 edition (our 27th), we celebrate 25 years of producing Discover Trinidad & Tobago. Published every year since 1991, Discover Trinidad & Tobago is aimed both at international visitors planning a trip to the islands – whether for an eco adventure, business trip, or beach holiday – and at local Trinbagonians looking to know and explore more about their native islands. Our comprehensive coverage of Trinidad and Tobago — from arts and culture to eco adventures, accommodation to sports, planning flights and transportation and more — can help anyone plan anything from a day trip or weekend escape, to a full-on an adventure holiday or leisurely vacation. It might take a lifetime to truly experience all that the islands have to offer, but at least we can show you where to start.

In & around Port of Spain<br />
The Queen’s Park Savannah<br />
Described as the lungs of the city, the Savannah is a hub of recreational activity. Its vast<br />
grounds are popular for sports, kite-flying (especially around Easter), and even photo<br />
shoots. Walkers, joggers, dog-walkers, and food/drink vendors (including a series of colourful<br />
Carnival stalls in season) dominate its perimeter.<br />
Some highlights<br />

“Magnificent Seven”* (southwestern side): a line of century-old colonial houses in<br />
varying degrees of repair and use, reflecting their diverse histories and ownership. From<br />

Bishop’s residence); Milles Fleurs (law association headquarters); Roomor (private<br />
home); Roman Catholic Archbishop’s House; Whitehall; and Killarney or Stollmeyer’s<br />

Emperor Valley Zoo & Botanical Gardens (northern side): opened in 1952 and recently<br />
upgraded, the Zoo’s nearly 3 hectares house hundreds of animals (zstt.org). The nearby<br />
Gardens (est. 1820) are a favourite for picnics and walks, and home to one of the oldest<br />
collections of exotic plants and trees in the western hemisphere. Next door is the President’s<br />
official home, under repair at the time of writing<br />
