The city tour will take us through the areas of Port-au-Prince, that were severely affected by the earthquake in 2010, to the newly restored Iron Market, with its colourful selection of Haitian arts and crafts. Free time for shopping. We stop at the National Pantheon Museum (MUPANAH), where we immerse ourself in Haiti’s dramatic history, and continue on through the Bois Verna neighbourhood and its picturesque gingerbread houses of a bygone era.
