PreviousA Worldwind Tour of St. Thomas - What to see

  • 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.

  • University of the Virgin Islands
    Founded in 1963, the university was established to meet the need for higher education in the Virgin Islands and the Caribbean. Its four year curriculum provides students with a Bachelor of Arts degree in such fields as education, business and government; there are also Master's degree programs.

    The 175 acre campus in St. Thomas includes a Nursing Education Building, a Science Building, classrooms, dormitories, and a theatre. The 130 acre campus in St. Croix is located between Christiansted and Frederiksted. Throughout the year, there are cultural events staged at the university.
