After exiting the cruise terminal, be sure to take a quick hike of a few blocks to Parliament Square. It is a very short walk from the terminal, head from the Terminal to East Bay Street in Downtown Nassau. These three beautiful, flamingo pink buildings, still house the Bahamian Government, some 200-plus years after their original construction. In the center of Parliament Square, is a statue dedicated to Queen Victoria (erected in 1905), the British Monarch, who the Bahamians held in high esteem. The brilliant architecture, colorful adornment of national bunting, and vibrant paint choices, make this a great opportunity to learn and snap some great travel shots.

Beautiful historical buildings and statues everywhere, it looks like we just stepped off the boat and entered a city that was 200 years in the past. Some of the designs, with the ornate architecture and the revolutionary war era cannons, plus the large statue of Christopher Columbus is fascinating. We enjoyed our tour guide telling us about the different people who live and work in these areas and the government buildings were almost like a small offshoot of the British Parliament. Quite captivating.

Great place if you're a capitol building nerd such as myself. Safe lush grounds and cool, colorful buildings make it a must-see for the government building buff in all of us. Pros: Pink buildings In the thick of everything, easy to get to Cons: Some construction equipment visible in photos

We were surprised how the buildings of Parliament Square resemble colonial buildings in the United States. We learned these were originally built by Loyalist from North Carolina. There are three main buildings all painted Bahamian Pink. We really liked the history and the lively colors.

Bahamian are "Proud to be Bahamian!" The Bahamas recently celebrated its 50th independence and decorated Parliament Square and it was beautiful. I took these photos in the day but at night it's lighted and just as gorgeous if not more.

Short walk from the wharf, no access inside but you're able to roam the grounds and check the plaques of the various statues/monuments. Should be on your list, its relatively close to the straw market and Main Street.
