As part of the greater Port-au-Prince metropolitan area, Carrefour's neighborhoods along the coastal road offer the most convenient transit connections. Areas further from the main road are quieter but less accessible without a car or taxi.
Carrefour's coastline is best appreciated in the cooler morning or early evening hours, given the region's warm, humid climate. The wider Port-au-Prince area's markets and historic sites make for a worthwhile day trip.
Tap-taps (shared, decorated pickup trucks or buses) and taxis are the main ways to get around, with roads sometimes congested. Ride-hailing apps offer an increasingly used alternative in the wider metropolitan area.
Carrefour has a tropical climate with a wetter season from roughly April through November, including a risk of storms later in that period. The drier winter months generally bring more settled, comfortable weather.
