Roseau
Roseau, the capital of Dominica, sits on the island's west coast between the Caribbean Sea and the mountains, with a compact centre that mixes colonial French and modern architecture. The city's waterfront position, concentration of historic churches, and walkable restaurant and café scene give it a distinct character for a modest Caribbean capital, and it serves as Dominica's main port for trade in bananas, bay oil, cocoa, and citrus.
