For many, Port-au-Prince will be associated with revolutions and invasions. In reality, it is a lively and sprawling city, different from other places in Haiti.
Later during our stay in Port-au-Prince, we walked away from the Champs de Mars, passing the Cathedral de Notre Dame which was closed for visits, on our way to the Marché en Fer. Here, we found the real Port-au-Prince: many people on the streets, street stalls, but also trash littered everywhere, and run down houses. This is the colourful area of Port-au-Prince, it has a certain dynamism and a sometimes strange and rough atmosphere, something happening all the time - very interesting to see and experience. A far cry from the suburbs that are much more residential and calm. We decided to heed the advice not to visit the slums that are also part of Port-au-Prince - perhaps for a next time.
