There are so many things to see and do in St Kitts that you're probably find yourself running out of time, but there are some which are simply unmissable. Perhaps the best place to start is by taking a trip on the scenic Railway.
It's a very pleasant way to gain an overview of the island, and is especially good if you have very little spare time. St Kitts is dominated by Mt Liamuiga which is 3,792 feet above sea level. It has been dormant for the last 1600 years and is a huge visitor attraction. The best way to experience it is to book a tour, and this is also a great opportunity to learn about the wide variety of tropical plants and flowers which include many species of orchids.
No visit to St Kitts is complete without a trip to Brimstone Hill Fortress which was originally built by African slaves during the 18th century. It's a great opportunity to learn a little more about the rich history of this island, and keen photographers will discover ample photo opportunities as the views are amazing as it is possible to see for miles on a clear day.
Another historical attraction is Romney Manor house and Gardens which was established at the beginning of the 17th century by the Earl of Romney. In 1834, against the instructions of Parliament, Romney Manor became the first estate in St Kitts to emancipate slaves.
Its gardens are remarkable for having a 350-year-old Saman tree, and it's also a popular location in which to get married. No matter what you like to do on holiday, you're sure to find an activity to suit, and may even get to try or see something completely new.
