Downtown! The 99 Steps is one of the most distinguishable landmarks in St. Thomas. The staircase is one of several 'step-streets' originally built by the Danes to solve the problem of getting around the Charlotte Amalie's hilly terrain. The bricks of the steps were brought from Denmark as ballasts in the holds of trade ships.
When the Danes drew up plans for Charlotte Amalie they didn’t take into consideration that the island was hilly - to make up for this the downtown area is scattered with staircases! Perhaps the most well know is the 99 Steps! Take a walk to the top and take in the view of the harbor. On your way back down stroll past Governor’s house and into Veteran’s Park before heading back to town!

The bricks of the steps were brought from Denmark as ballasts in the holds of trade ships. Visitors who walk to the top (actually 103 steps) will find themselves near the foot of more stairs leading to Blackbeard’s Castle, one of the island’s three National Historic Landmarks.
