Port Au Prince

What Port-au-Prince lacks in architectural grace, it makes up for with a stunning setting. Steep mountains tower over the city to the south, La GonĂ¢ve island lies in a horseshoe bay to the west, and another wall of mountains beyond a rift valley plain rise to the north. Over the years the city has spilled out of its original waterfront location, climbing further into the mountains behind.
