The city is very walkable and pleasant, and due to the fact it's facing the Caribbean Sea, the breeze in from the ocean make it quite enjoyable (much more so then most other inland cities in Haiti). The city itself is great visually and photographically as well as having some of the friendliest people in the country. Small local craft stores also abound and it's noted for one of the best places to buy Haitian handicrafts and souvenirs.
The buildings in the city are historic and date from the early nineteenth century; the city has been tentatively accepted as a World Heritage site and UNESCO reports that it has sustained damage in the January 2010 earthquake.
