VINCENT is the largest island and centre of government for SVG. Centuries of volcanic activity (including majestic La Soufrière) have fashioned this main island into a unique paradise of dense forests, mountain trails, waterfalls and colourful wildlife that includes several bird species. St.Vincent was once homeland and a capital of the Carib peoples and its exciting history of native, European and African settlement is visible in its forts, agricultural houses and even pre-Columbian rock carvings called petroglyphs. 23 24 ABOUT Our Islands CAPITAL Private Facilities /MRKWXS[RPSGEXIHSRXLI WSYXL[IWXGSEWXSJ7X:MRGIRXMW XLIWIEXSJKSZIVRQIRXERHXLI QEMRGSQQIVGMEPGIRXVI 1EV]½IPH,SWTMXEP+YRR,MPP MEDICAL FACILITIES Public Facilities 8LI1MPXSR'EXS1IQSVMEP ,SWTMXEPPSGEXIHSR,SWTMXEP 6SEH/MRKWXS[RMWIUYMTTIH [MXLERSTIVEXMRKXLIEXVI<VE] HITEVXQIRXERHHIRXEPERH I]IGPMRMGW8LIVIEVIWQEPPIV LSWTMXEPWMR+ISVKIXS[R SRXLI;MRH[EVHGSEWXERH 'LEXIEYFIPEMVSRXLI0II[EVH GSEWX'PMRMGWEVIWMXYEXIH XLVSYKLSYX7X:MRGIRX 1MPXSR'EXS1IQSVMEP,SWTMXEP 'EVMFFIER1IHMGEP -QEKMRK'IRXVI 7XSRI]+VSYRH )QEMPGEVQMG$ZMRG]WYVJGSQ Laboratories 'EVMFFIER6IJIVIRGI0EFSVEXSV] 7:+0XH 4EYP´W%ZIRYI 7MKQE1IHMGEP0EFSVEXSVMIW &IRXMGO7UYEVI/MRKWXS[R )QEMPWQP$ZMRG]WYVJGSQ 25 KEY 'PMRMG -RJSVQEXMSR 4SWX3J½GI 'LYVGL 'YWXSQW 1EVOIX'VEJX 4SPMGI7XEXMSR 'IQIXIV] %RGLSVEKI +EW7XEXMSR &YW8IVQMREP 0MFVEV] 26 ABOUT Our Islands POLICE/EMERGENCY 6S]EP7:+4SPMGI*SVGI ,IEHUYEVXIVW )QIVKIRG] PHARMACIES &S[QER´W4LEVQEG] +VIRZMPPI7X/MRKWXS[R '0´W4LEVQEG] &IRXMGO7UYEVI/MRKWXS[R 'SVIEW,E^IPPW-RG 'RV,MPPWFSVSYKL ,EPMJE\ 7XVIIXW/MRKWXS[R (EWGS4LEVQEG],EPMJE\7XVIIX +E]QIW4LEVQEG]+VIRZMPPI7X 0I[MW4LEVQEG].EQIW7XVIIX 0MKLXW4LEVQEG];IPPRIWW 'IRXIV %VRSW:EPI1EMR6SEH 1EVTIW4LEVQEG]%VRSW:EPI 1IHM\4LEVQEG]+VIRZMPPI7X 4ISTPI´W4LEVQEG]+VIRZMPPI7X 5'EVI4LEVQEG]0XH ,EPMJE\7X/MRKWXS[R [[[UGEVITLEVQEG]GSQ 6MXI%MHI4LEVQEG] +VIRZMPPI7X/MRKWXS[R 6S]´W4LEVQEG]+ISVKIXS[R :EVMIX]1IHMGEP'SQTPI\ %VRSW:EPI :MGXSVME4LEVQEG] &IRXMGO7UYEVI 27 BANKS CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank ,EPMJE\7XVIIX/MRKWXS[R [[[GMFGJGMFGSQ First St. Vincent Bank +VERF]7XVIIX/MRKWXS[R [[[½VWXZMRFEROGSQ The Bank of St. Vincent and the Grenadines &IHJSVH7XVIIX/MRKWXS[R ,EPMJE\7XVIIX/MRKWXS[R +ISVKIXS[R [[[FSWZKGSQ POST OFFICE 7:+4SWXEP'SVTSVEXMSRSR ,EPMJE\7XVIIXMR/MRKWXS[RMW STIR1SRHE]XS*VMHE] EQ¯TQ7EXYVHE] EQ¯EQ 8LIVIEVIWYFTSWXSJ½GIWMREPP XS[RWERHQSWXZMPPEKIW ;IFWMXI[[[WZKTSWXKSZZG )QEMPWZKTSWXEPGSVT$ZMRG]WYVJGSQ RBTT 7SYXL6MZIV6SEH/MRKWXS[R [[[VFXXGSQ Scotiabank ,EPMJE\7XVIIX/MRKWXS[R [[[WXZMRGIRXWGSXMEFEROGSQ The St. Vincent Co-operative Bank &E]7XVIIX/MRKWXS[R [[[WZGSSTIVEXMZIFEROGSQ 28 ABOUT Our Islands BANKS Opening Hours 1SRHE]XS8LYVWHE] EQ¯TQ *VMHE]EQ¯TQ %X)8.SWLYE%MVTSVX 1SRHE]XS*VMHE]EQ¯TQ )\XIRHIHLSYVWEX'LVMWXQEW )EWXIVERH'EVRMZEP Inland Revenue 0MGIRWMRK3J½GI 1SRHE]XS*VMHE]EQ¯TQ Registry 1SRHE]XS*VMHE]EQ¯TQ 7EXYVHE]EQ¯EQ Shops 1SRHE]XS*VMHE]EQ¯TQ 7EXYVHE]EQ¯RSSR General Opening Hours MONEY TRANSFERS Customs & Excise 1SRI]+VEQ 1SRHE]XS*VMHE]EQ¯TQ 7EXYVHE]EQ¯RSSR +SZIVRQIRX3J½GIW 1SRHE]XS*VMHE]EQ¯TQ Government Treasury Department 1SRHE]XS*VMHE]EQ¯TQ 7EXYVHE]¯RSSR ;IWXIVR9RMSR 8LIVIEVIQYPXMTPIPSGEXMSRWJSV QSRI]XVERWJIVXLVSYKLSYXXLI HIWXMREXMSR'EPPRYQFIVWEFSZI JSVQSVIMRJSVQEXMSR 29 6IH*S\8E\M 6IRXEP 6IRXERH(VMZI 6MGO]´W'EV6IRXEP 7EQ8E\M 8SYVW0XH 7XEV+EVEKI ']RHEPI)RXIVTVMWI AUTO-RENTAL SERVICES ,IVX^6IRXE'EV %ZMW6IRXEP'EV &MG]GPI6IRXEPW 7EMPSVW']GPI'IRXVI &IR´W%YXS6IRXEP 'EV6IRXEPW8E\M 8SYVW 'EWL1SRI]-RZIWXQIRXW ( .6IRXEPW +VIK´W6IRXEP7IVZMGIW 0I[MW%YXS;SVPH TAXI SERVICES %MVTSVX %YXLSVM^I8E\M %MVTSVX8E\M7IVZMGI 7:+8E\M%WWSGMEXMSR ;
