About Port-au-Prince
Port-au-Prince is Haiti's capital—a city of vibrant art, resilient culture, and street energy that overshadows its reputation for difficulty. The Oloffson Hotel is a legendary gingerbread mansion, while the Iron Market pulses with commerce and color. Haitian artists create some of the Caribbean's most powerful work, and the city's music and food reflect African heritage more clearly than any other island.
