There's a lot
more to St. Kitts than sun and surf. St. Kitts attractions offer a
myriad of things to see and do, whether you're looking to fill an
hour or a day. With choices as varied as museums, cruises, and historical
sites, you'll never have a dull moment during your visit to St. Kitts.
Of course, our beautiful beaches remain the reason people visit year
after year. So let us show you some of our favorite places to play.
Brimstone Hill Fortress
 Catch breathtaking views of Monserrat, Nevis, Saba, St. Barts, and
St. Martin from the
grounds of this nationally recognized fort, erected with 7-foot-thick
brimstone walls. The
fort, located in northwest St. Kitts, is also known as the "Gilbraltar
of the West Indies."
Circus
 Direct your attention to the grand stand of Nevis - a bustling cul-de-sac
fashioned after London's famous Piccadilly Circus. Saunter through
a plethora of shops and restaurants housed in the Circus' ring of
colonial buildings. The ornate Berkeley Memorial Clock can be found
ticking from the core of the Circus, which also features the domed
Treasury Building.

at this factory. These
wonderfully-made items will make great souvenirs for friends and
family back home who
are waiting to hear the details about your vacation in St. Kitts.
Independence

Discover pieces of St. Kitt's exposed past, which is conveyed through
the colonial
architecture accenting this square, which was originally a site
for slave auctioning. The
superb Cathedral of Immaculate Conception is just around the corner
from the square.
