A pleasant town with a history: Cap-Haïtien is a nice place to explore on foot, with relaxed people and a good base from which to reach the best sights of Northern Haiti.
A walk through the city could well start at the cathedral square, a well-maintained area which in fact is not central to Cap-Haïtien. From here, you can just wander around; getting lost is virtually impossible. Typical architecture of Cap-Haïtien includes two-three floor buildings, many with balconies, most with wooden or metal shutters painted in bright colours. To be sure, most of the houses are run-down, but to a degree where it only makes them more attractive to see. Some streets do have a problem with garbage and the sewer system, though, making them smelly. With some heavy rain, some of these streets turn into shallow canals - beautifully reflecting the houses.
