Where Should I go: Bath or Freeport?
Bath
Bath is most famous as a historic spa city, and as such, it has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is only 100 miles west of London and it is a wonderful, historic city with excellent architecture and great hot springs. It's a popular travel destination for international visitors and Brits alike. It is charmingly positioned in the rolling hills of the Somerset countryside just south of the Cotswolds. The city itself has a population of about 80,000 and gives you a sampling of attractions including a range of restaurants, theaters, pubs, and museums.
Freeport
When you picture the Bahamas you likely picture the beaches, resorts and playgrounds of Nassau. Just to the northwest of this tourist paradise is a tropical city founded on industry. Freeport began as mostly swampland and is now the second most populous city in the Bahamas.
This city is less of a tourist attraction - a place where you'll find the true Bahaman culture mixed in with some relaxing spots to help you unwind and get into your island vacation.
