Saint Thomas
Charlotte Amalie
This magnificent port is the capital of the archipelago and a stopover for many cruise ships. The city boasts several remnants of its Danish colonial past (houses, forts, etc.). Beyond that, Charlotte Amalie is also—and above all—a major duty-free zone with hundreds of shops.
