Pétionville travel guide Pétion Ville is in the hills east and separate of the city itself on the northern hills of the Massif de la Selle. It was named after Alexandre Sabès Pétion (1770 181  , the Haitian general and president later recognized as one of the country's four founding fathers. The district is primarily a residential and tourist area. Pétion Ville is part of the city's metropolitan area,http://www.lacapannadifraja.it/category/hogan, one of the most affluent areas of the city, where the majority of tourist activity takes place, and one of the wealthiest parts of the country. Many diplomats,http://www.lacapannadi...ory/hogan-sito-ufficiale/, foreign businessmen,http://www.cioccolart.it/category/scarpe-hogan/, and a large number of wealthy citizens do business and reside within Pétion Ville.[1]Despite the distance from the capital and the general affluence of the district, the lack of administrative enforcement has led to the formation of shantytowns on the outer edges of the district,http://www.lacapannadi...it/category/hogan-outlet/, as poor locals migrate upward and have settled there in search of job opportunities. Pétion Ville has more security than the center of Port au Prince, and in general,http://www.cioccolart....tegory/hogan-interactive/, than the other major cities of Haiti. The community is very stable, with nightlife and business conducted with an appearance of western normality, in striking contrast to many other parts of greater Port au Prince. The hillside suburban town is filled with nightclubs, beauty salons, fitness gyms and French restaurants. Businesses which cater to tourists are commonplace, and parties and get togethers often take place at night. Get in[edit]Port au Prince airport (PAP) is served by several major airlines primarily United, American, and Delta as well as smaller flights from the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and other spots in the Caribbean. Taxis from the airport to your destination in Port au Prince will be about $20 for standard fare. Try to bargain down to $15. Tap taps going to all places past the airport and will cost about 10 gourdes (25 cents). By bus[edit] From Santo Domingo, Caribe Tours runs a once daily bus to Petionville (in the hills above Port au Prince) that leaves at 11:00 am. A ticket costs $40 USD one way + $26 USD tax and + 100 Dominican Pesos. Terra bus may also still be servicing the Santa Domingo PAP route. Crowded tap taps (passenger pickup trucks) and buses can take you to Petionville for a few dollars, but can be dangerous. Tap taps run along prescribed routes throughout the city. Most routes cost 10 gourdes (2 Haitian dollars, $0.25 USD), though to get across the city you may need to utilize multiple routes, each of which charges separately. These can be rather intimidating if you aren't familiar with them. Taxis typically are about 500 gourdes and should only be utilized during daylight. After dark, prices rise substantially and you are at substantially greater risk for being mugged. Mr. Grill, (on Rue Riguad between Clervenau and Faubert). A steakhouse and guest house with a nice ambience. The chicken kebab is tasty, as is the fried goat and skirt steak. On Saturdays a live twoubadou band plays. http://www.virgiliodeg...ogan/ Website of wabifact http://www.virgiliodegiovanni.it/category/hogan-ou hogan outlet Guida all'acquisto http://www.cioccolart....hogan/ Swedish phrasebook hogan interactive Kalimpong travel guide |
