 Hotel 1829
The 19th century comes alive again in the narrow passages of this lovely old building. Don't miss the open courtyard.
 99 Steps
One of many staircases dating to the early 1700s
under Danish rule. They were the "easiest" way to get up and down the steep hills. Blackbeard's Castle at the top.
The Reichhold Center for the Arts
It's a beautifully-designed outdoor theatre (with covering); its programs run the gamut from jazz to folklore to ballet to symphony -- many by visiting artists. Tickets are made available to visitors
for every performance.
Synagogue
The second oldest in the western hemisphere. There is sand on the floor, a reference to the exodus from Egypt. More... University of the Virgin Islands
