Jamaica represents the ultimate laid-back vibe when it comes to choosing a holiday destination. Relaxation is in abundance on the gorgeous white sand beaches, under shady palm trees and at beach bars serving rum punch while reggae music plays in the background. The glorious Caribbean weather means there is rarely a bad time to visit the island; temperatures usually hover around 30 degrees (although it is often advisable to avoid the height of summer due to hurricane season in July and August).

Jamaica not only offers a slower pace of life, but is also rich in history thanks to its colonial past. Plantations and 18th century mansions can be found all over the island, but history really comes alive in the capital city of Kingston. The streets of Kingston are full of old-style architecture and museums that tell the story of Jamaica.

The flag of Jamaica is quite unique - it consists of a gold cross that divides the flag into four sections in green and black. It is considered the only national flag that does not contain the colors red, white or blue. It was adopted in 1962, and an earlier interpretation of the colors was "there are difficulties, but the land is green and the sun is shining," according to a ministry paper.
