Georgetown, Guyana's Capital City and chief port, is situated on the right bank of the estuary of the Demerara River. The site was originally chosen as a Fort to guard the early Dutch settlements of the Demerara River.
The city lies below sea level and is protected from the Atlantic Ocean by the sea wall which was originally built in two phases. The first phase, up to the Roundhouse, was completed in 1860 and the second phase, extending to Kitty, was undertaken from 1872 to 1882. At the western end of the sea wall is a bandstand which was built in 1903.
Georgetown is over two hundred years old. In 1781, the British military administrator of the recently captured colony of Demerara, Lieutenant Colonel Robert Kingston, established Fort St. George as his headquarters in a portion of the area presently known as Georgetown.

There’s something endearing about Georgetown, whose easy to navigate gridded streets, dilapidated colonial architecture and many unkempt parks give it a laid-back feel amidst real-life chaos. Around the congested market area the air is full of angry shouting, happy shouting, marijuana smoke, friendly faces and suspicious-looking thieves; in all, there is so much fiery turbulence that the whole town feels on the verge of an explosion. Just a few blocks away, traffic lessens, the streets are nearly empty and there is a palpable Caribbean calm. Despite the hard-boiled exterior, the city has a thriving intellectual scene, fabulous restaurants and a riotous night-life.
