Kingston isnt your typical resort destination because it is more of a business area. While you will not have many beaches and gift shops for touristy things, Kingston offers a wide array of things to do. It offers a WIDE WIDE variety of things to do. The BEAUTIFUL Blue Mountains are nearby- really lovely, and there are sooo many fine dining places to visit there... different types of cuisine for a sophisticated pallete. From Japanese to Lebanese and Jamaican... not your typical Jerk Chicken shacks. For 5 star dining, there's Mac's Chop House.
The Bob Marley Museum on Hope Road is very informative. Good place where you can pick up souvenirs too, I believe. (or nearby)
Quad night club and Christophers Jazz Bar and really nice. Christophers offers great food at great prices and with lovely ingredients.
Lime Cay Beach... nice little mini island. Great to go on a Sunday, and then to Morgan's Harbour in Port Royal to dine after.
Or if you'd like something more rustic, go to Helshire beach and have the best lobster, fish, conch, festival in the world! That place is on the beach too. It really is excellent.
How do I recommend going around to all these places.?Yes u could rent a car, but why not call a taxi service and ask pay a bus to carry you. I find its much cheaper and you get to ask questions from reliable source. They won't overcharge you and give you a "tourist price".
Hope you enjoy Jamaica!

Kingston is a fine place to visit. I agree with Lazazeen, Devon House ice cream is great, and with some flavours you won't find in the U.S. (Mannish Water, papaya cream, mango cream, Guinness, etc.) I must admit I haven't summoned up the courage to try manish water ice cream!
And even Trenchtown is safe if you are careful. Just don't go there after the police have been in there busting the place up. I did once and people were pretty angry with them. The Jamaica Defense Forces had been sent in to help out after the police screwed up. A captain in the JDF told me he was sick & tired of the police shooting first and asking questions later. Even during that incident I didn't feel I was in danger. Just be careful and be aware of what's going on around you like, you would in any other large city.

Kingston is like any major city. However, its not like the touristy parishes, its a business hub, so dont go around in those rediculous pretty shirts, shorts, hats. its a place for business.
people will tell you where to go and where not to. I am from Jamaica and I have never gone to any of the ghettos. just like new york but much nicer.
go to devon house-best ice-cream in the world.
