St. Croix Walking Tour
St. Croix, US Virgin Islands
Why Walk St. Croix
St. Croix is the largest of the US Virgin Islands but far less visited than St. Thomas, with a relaxed atmosphere and a fascinating layered history — Danish, French, Spanish, and Dutch influences are all visible in the architecture. Christiansted, the main town, has a beautifully preserved Danish colonial waterfront. The island was the boyhood home of Alexander Hamilton, who grew up here before leaving for the American colonies.

Walking Tip
Rent a car — the island is too spread out for walking. Driving is on the left side. Christiansted is the most walkable area with the best concentration of historic sites.
Best Time to Visit
December through April for dry season. The Crucian Christmas Festival runs from late November through early January. Summer is hot but less crowded.
