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.
