Activity itinerary

Market Square
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket not included
Market Square, with its large pavilion and sidewalks, is a perfect spot for local vendors to sell their wares. Though the largest crowds gather on Saturday mornings, farmers, artists, and craftsmen come here every day of the week and set ups stands from which they display fruits, vegetables, and any number of hand - made items.
St. Thomas Synagogue
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket not included
This unassuming building with a sand floor was built in 1833 and helps tell the fascinating stories of Charlotte Amalie’s Jewish heritage. The official name of the Saint Thomas Synagogue is Beracha Veshalom Vegmiluth Hasidim, which means ‘blessing and peace and loving deeds.’ This building is the fourth synagogue on this site and was built in 1833.
St Thomas Reformed Church
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket not included
The church was built in the style of a Roman temple, reflective of the fact that it was built during the classical revival peri od. The building has survived both hurricanes and earthquakes, due at least in part of its interior lumber core, which is covered with woodwork typical of the colonial period in the Caribbean.
Blackbeard’s Castle
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket not included
Prepare to be taken aback by the imposing tower of Blackbeard’s castle that looms above you. Home to tales of skulduggery and warfare, this famous landmark is an unmissable piece of Charlotte Amalie’s history. It was originally called Skytsborg Tower, meaning ‘gun tower’ in Danish. For several years, the tower was part of a private residence and was later the centrepiece of a hotel called the Inn at Blackbeard’s Castle.
Fort Christian
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket not included
When you arrive at Fort Christian you’ll be immediately struck by its bright red exterior. A Gothic revival building, this stone fortification was built by the Danish settlers on Saint Thomas between 1672 and 1680 and is one of the most striking buildings in the city.
