Current Time in Port of Spain

About Port of Spain Time Zone

Port of Spain is the capital of Trinidad and Tobago, home to approximately 540,000 residents in the greater area. It operates on Atlantic Standard Time (AST, UTC-4). Trinidad and Tobago is the southernmost island nation in the Caribbean and sits just 11 km off the coast of Venezuela. Unlike most Caribbean islands, Trinidad's economy is not based on tourism but on oil and natural gas — the country has one of the highest per-capita incomes in the Caribbean. Trinidad is the birthplace of steelpan (steel drum) music, invented in the 1930s–40s, and of Limbo and Calypso. The Trinidad Carnival, held just before Lent, is one of the world's most exuberant and culturally rich festivals — its traditions of mas (masquerade), soca music, and stunning costumes have influenced carnivals globally, including Toronto's Caribana and London's Notting Hill Carnival. The Pitch Lake near La Brea, the world's largest natural asphalt lake, has supplied bitumen for road surfacing globally.
