Enjoy a simple picnic at the Promenade or Botanical Gardens
The Promenade and Botanical Gardens are two of the most serene spaces where travellers can have a simple, inexpensive romantic day trip while admiring several species of Guyana’s flora and landmarks. The burst of colour provided by the gardens perfectly juxtaposes the sometimes grey city life. These gardens are perfect for quiet relaxation and a quick getaway from busy schedules or to end that rugged, adventurous Guyana getaway.
Pack your favourite local dishes, snacks and beverages and have an afternoon of bliss. Take a walk along the ponds and observe the beautiful lotus lilies or have fun with history trivia as you admire the Mahatma Gandhi Statue in the Promenade Gardens or the beautiful colonial-style architecture evident on the bandstands and bridges of the gardens. Over in the Promenade Gardens, you can relax under one of the trees until it’s time to leave. The Cannonball Tree is as unorthodox as the name suggests, and they are big enough to cover vast areas. The sweet smell of their unusual flowers that grow along the exceptionally wide trunks attracts bees, birds and other pollinating creatures, which will make for a pleasant experience.
The Kissing Bridge, a famous spot in the Botanical Gardens, is a haven for couples. It is said that couples used this bridge in the olden days during their courting sessions - they would steal a kiss at the top of the bridge and walk over for good luck! You should try this on your next trip to the Botanical Gardens with that special someone. Even better about this date idea is that you don’t have to use a tour provider, you can arrange this all by yourself.
These are just a few of the most cost-effective yet excellent date ideas around Guyana. Why not consider museum dates at the Walter Roth Museum of Anthropology or even art dates at the Castellani House? All it takes is a little creativity, research, and a desire to experience the vast beauty of Guyana.
