Nassau, Bahamas

Capital City

With a population of 227,940, Nassau dominates the Bahamas, but it comes with a price. The tax burden is heavy, and violent crime remains a persistent headache according to recent U.S. travel advisories. Still, the tropical climate and natural beauty have made Nassau a common tourist destination, especially for Americans seeking an easy escape. However, those seeking to live here long-term may find the bureaucracy a frustrating hurdle.
