Taxi in Alberttown, Georgetown
Rides from Alberttown to Bourda Market, Camp Street, the seawall and CJIA.
Alberttown is one of the older residential wards of central Georgetown, between Queenstown and Bourda, and part of the city's Constituency One with Kingston, Queenstown and Cummingsburg. Its grid of numbered cross streets, First Street through Sixth Street, makes addresses easy to find, and Albert, Cummings and Light Streets run through it.
Finding an Alberttown address
Give the number and the street, for example "Fifth Street, Alberttown": the numbered streets repeat elsewhere in Guyana, and the ward name tells the driver which one you mean. Alberttown has its own police station, fire station and health centre, and the DHL Express service centre is on Fifth Street, a common errand for visitors sending documents home. There is also a guest house on Church Street for travellers on a budget.

Stabroek Market and the downtown banks are about 2.3 km, about GYD 2,000, and the US Embassy and Marriott in Kingston about 2.7 km, about GYD 2,000. Parking is tight near Bourda Market on market days, so the driver may meet you a block away.
