Bezienswaardigheden op Saint Thomas

St. Thomas Essentials

St. Thomas combines Caribbean natural landscapes with Danish colonial history and modern maritime culture. Magens Bay offers a sheltered mile-long beach, while Drake’s Seat provides panoramic views of the British Virgin Islands. In Charlotte Amalie, the 18th-century 99 Steps and the 1679 Blackbeard’s Castle highlight the island's architectural past alongside the historic Hebrew Congregation synagogue. Marine life is accessible at Coral World Ocean Park, and the island’s duty-free shopping hubs at Havensight Mall and Vendor’s Plaza complement the boating activity centered in Red Hook Harbor.
