Nassau has not so many things to do, but the heart of its downtown is always busy. Best described as the six blocks of Bay Street plus the parallel Shirley and King streets to the south between the British Colonial Hilton on the west and the Parliament Buildings on the east, the area has now a new Straw Market, which is always full of tourists and "not always friendly" shop assistants. Around the main street, there is series of upscale duty-free shops aimed at the thousands of cruise ship passengers arriving each week. While the straw market located there sells arts and crafts, the department stores sell collectibles, fine arts, perfumes, jewelry, clothing and other items some ranging into the thousands of dollars. The traffic in the shopping area is also very intense, especially whenever there is a coach between the cars and buses. These are highlights Downtown.
