⏸Barbados is a beautiful island nation in the Caribbean, known for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant culture. It is a popular destination for tourists from all over the world who come to experience the warm climate, beautiful scenery, and friendly hospitality. This 5-day travel guide will take you on a journey to explore Barbados together. ✈️[How to get there] Our country currently does not have direct flights to Barbados, so you will need to transfer in neighboring countries such as the United States or Canada. The most convenient airports for departure may be Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport and Beijing Capital International Airport. 🕓[Best Travel Time] The best time to visit Barbados is from December to April, when the weather is warm and dry, and there are fewer tourists. However, this also happens to be the peak tourist season. The rainy season in Barbados lasts from June to November, during which occasional hurricanes may occur. This period has relatively low tourist traffic and is considered the off-season. 🌄[Recommended attractions and time planning] ✅Day 1: Bridgeton City Tour Start your journey with a hiking trip from the capital of Barbados, Bridgetown.
