Downtown Walking Tour

Discover over 400 years of Virgin Islands history on this guided walking tour through the heart of Charlotte Amalie, the capital of the US Virgin Islands and one of the “jewels of the Caribbean”. For more than three centuries, this harbor town has welcomed travelers, traders, and adventurers from across the world—and its stories are still written into the streets today.

Stroll past historic stone warehouses, iconic wooden doors, shaded balconies, and yellow-bricked archways. Danish influences remain visible throughout the town, like the street names of Kongens Gade (King Street) and Snegle Gade (Snail Street).

Walk Charlotte Amalie’s historic streets and experience the architecture, culture, and stories that shaped St. Thomas into one of the Caribbean’s most remarkable port towns.
