Main Street

If you enjoy shopping, St. Thomas has the Caribbean's best shopping plaza. The cobblestones of Charlotte Amalie's Main Street (also known as Dronningens Gade in Danish) glisten with dazzling diamonds, fragrant perfume, designer duds, gleaming electronics, and potent liquor. It's all duty-free, as you've read online and heard from friends.

If you enjoy shopping, St. Thomas has the best shopping plaza in the Caribbean. The cobblestones of Charlotte Amalie's Main Street (also known as Dronningens Gade in Danish) gleam with gleaming electronics, fragrant perfume, designer duds, and potent liquor. As you've read online and heard from friends, everything is duty-free.

Stay away from the stores if you don't feel like shopping, especially in the late morning and early afternoon. With tourists fresh off the cruise ship and a slew of solicitors pleading with you to visit their shops, the narrow Main Street is an assault on the senses. Tourist taxis clog Charlotte Amalie's streets, attempting to deliver visitors as close to the beach as possible.
