A day inside the old base
The Freeport is a former US naval station that never quite stopped being one. The evidence is still standing, and most of it is free to walk up to.
These are suggested places from the guide, grouped into a starting route. Adjust the order, travel time and bookings to suit your day. Check current opening hours before setting out.
