A Worldwind Tour of St. Thomas - What to seeNext

  • Art
    Riise's Gallery has exhibits; and at Estate Tutu, Jim Tillet has an "Arts Alive!" festival three times a year. There is the Camille Pissarro Gallery in The Camille Pissarro Building, Jonna White Gallery in Palm Passage, Frederick Gallery in Havensight, Guava Gallery in Royal Dane Mall and Mango Tango Gallery at Al Cohens Plaza.

  • Blackbeard's Castle
    Originally known as "Skytsborg," this tower is considered by some sources as the "oldest extant historical structure in the Virgin Islands." Pirates reputedly once roamed here -- they, too, must have appreciated the spectacular view. Now a popular restaurant/hotel.



  • Bluebeard's Castle
    Reputedly the abode of the 19th-century pirate, now honeymoon suites in a major hotel on the island.





  • Crown House
    Built in the middle of the 18th century, this stately home was the residence of two past governors of these islands. Now a private residence.

  • Estate St. Peter Greathouse & Botanical Gardens
    Tour the contemporary estate house featuring local artists' work; walk among more than 500 varieties of meticulously tended plants and trees; and view some 20 other islands from three levels on this 3-acre former corporate retreat.
