For travellers drawn to Jamaica’s musical soul, a music pilgrimage to the island’s capital is nothing short of transformative.

From the birthplace of reggae to after-dark dancehall vibes, Kingston invites you to feel the beat as much as hear it.

You can experience Kingston not as a passive observer, but as a pilgrim tracing the roots and branches of Jamaican music.

Meet the Roots — Reggae’s Foundations
Your journey begins with a walking immersion into the heartbeat of reggae.

Begin your journey with the Kingston Music Tour — a 4-hour immersion into the origins of ska, rocksteady and reggae.

You’ll wander Orange Street, affectionately known as “Music Street”, stand in the legendary Trench Town where Bob Marley and other icons honed their craft.
