Christiansted
One of the prettiest towns in the Caribbean, Christiansted has a
perfect harbour setting and is the capital of St Croix. Dominating
the waterfront is the large yellow building, Fort Christiansvaern,
built in 1774 to protect the town's harbour against pirates during
its days as capital of the Danish colony when it served as an
important trading centre for sugar and rum. Much of the original
Danish colonial architecture remains, including the Old Custom
House, government buildings and the atmospheric wharf area lined
with pastel-coloured warehouses. Original Danish streets signs
survive among modern enterprises like tourist shops, courtyard
restaurants and a spirited bar scene on the waterfront. There are
plenty of beach activities nearby and a popular excursion is to
Buck Island, offering superb beaches and coral reefs.
Information & Facts
Language
English is the official language. Spanish, Creole and
some French are also spoken.
Money
The official currency is the US Dollar (USD) divided into 100
cents. Most credit cards are accepted, including American Express,
Diners Club Mastercard and Visa, and are useful for withdrawing
cash at ATMs. Travellers cheques are widely accepted in hotels,
shops and restaurants provided they are in US Dollars. Foreign
exchange bureaux are available to exchange other currencies, but it
is best to arrive with US Dollars as many banks and hotels will not
exchange foreign currency.
