Trinidad and Tobago Shopping and nightlife

Shopping in Trinidad and Tobago

You can find goods from all over the world in Port of Spain, but characterful local purchases include calypso records, steel drums, leather bags and sandals, ceramics and woodcarvings. Gold and silver jewellery can be good value, as can Indian silks and fabrics. The country’s cultural mix of African, Indian and Caribbean influences, in fact, means there are few better places on the planet to purchase bright clothes and materials. Rum should also be considered. Port of Spain’s Frederick Street is the main shopping hub.

Shopping hours

Mon-Thurs 0800-1600, Fri 0800-1800 and Sat 0800-1300. Some shops stay open later in Port of Spain, and malls are often open till 2100. Shops close on public holidays, especially during Carnival.
