St John's is also the main cruise ship port and commercial centre with many shops, restaurants and galleries situated around the waterfront such as Redcliffe Quay.
The main attractions are the St John's Cathedral built in 1845 (having previously twice destroyed by earthquakes in 1683 and again in 1745); the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda (located in the colonial Court House and featuring the early history of the island including the Arawak and colonial period); and the local market which takes place every Friday and Saturday morning.
