About Port-au-Prince

Port-au-Prince sits on a bay between a coastal plain and the Massif de la Selle foothills. Haiti’s political and cultural centre, it is known for markets, visual art, music and dense neighbourhoods, while Pétion-Ville forms part of the urban area.

Daily life and mobility are location-dependent. Travel, housing access and services can change quickly, while heavy rain and terrain shape movement across the metropolitan area. Prospective residents should use employer guidance and local arrangements rather than a generic city commute.

Port-au-Prince is Haiti’s international-organization hub. BINUH is the UN special political mission with a presence only in the city, integrated with 19 UN country-team agencies, funds and programmes. The market includes political affairs, human rights, governance, humanitarian coordination, protection, food security, health, recovery and operations.
