As of 11/11/25, the lower half (48 steps) was open, but the top half was still closed. To your right (as you’re facing the steps) around the governor’s house, take the steps by the church. That’ll give you a total of 130 steps with a nice view on top..

Worth visting to get a sense of history and how the town is laid out. Takes only a few mins to walk up to the top, so you can say you did it :) Whoever is building the new house at the top will have a wonderful view of the port, so go now while it is still under construction.

It is only a short walk from the Charlotte Amalie Historic District (interesting, but tons of jewelry dealers), Fort Christian, the local vendor's plaza, and Emancipation Garden. Definitely worth a quick hop skip and jump to walk over and up them. I counted 102 total steps and 66 of the old stone. The remaining steps were concrete. All in all, a very cool sense of the history from the natives of the Ciboney tribes, the Taino or Arawak tribe and the Caribs to the Spanish, Danish, and British. Quite the few hundred years for this attractive little waterfront...

Sometimes it was easier to build steps up a mountain than a sidewalk. This is a step side walk. It has a ton of history around it, such as the buildings and ruins; and lovely flowers along the way. It would be an interesting place for a photographer. There are some cool shots to capture. When you reach the top, there is a stunning view of the bay. Go early in the morning, it gets a tad warm.

99 Steps offers a captivating journey through history that every visitor to St. Thomas should experience. As you ascend these well-worn steps, flanked by charming historic buildings, you can't help but feel transported back in time. The cobblestone path and aged facades evoke a sense of nostalgia that is both charming and enchanting. Reaching the summit, one is greeted by the crowning jewel of this climb – Blackbeard's Castle. This iconic structure stands tall, a testament to the rich maritime history of the Caribbean. The panoramic views from this vantage point are nothing short of breathtaking. The lush greenery and azure waters stretching out in every direction create a scene straight from a postcard. For any tourist, this excursion is an absolute must. 99 Steps not only provides a physical journey but also a voyage through time and culture. It's a chance to immerse oneself in the stories of the past while enjoying the stunning beauty of the present. Don't miss out on this unique and unforgettable experience when visiting St. Thomas

A nice stroll along the steps. Not too hard to climb. Great views for looking around and being a tourist. Also a great area for photo ops. Steps are historic and old, but beautiful nonetheless and leads to different parts like a restaurant, black beard's castle, or a rum store.

One of the hidden gems in St. Thomas’s capital city of Charlotte Amalie are the 99 steps located on Kongens Gade, just east of Hotel 1829. Walking through this historic landmark can provide a time for meditation, reflection and reverence whether alone or with family and/or friends. If you are up for the challenge (there are actually 106 steps) the climb is a bit of a workout. Once at the top, the views are spectacular and you can use your imagination to think of all the pirates, town folks, and royalty that ascended those stairs on their way to Blackbeard’s Castle. (Due to damages from the 2017 hurricanes, the castle is now closed to the public). Nevertheless, the rewards for climbing the steps are many including the native flowers and plants along both sides of the stairs and it’s FREE! As it is told, the original bricks were constructed from ships that came from Denmark and used to make travel around the island much easier. Enjoy your visit 👣.

Certainly worth the visit to see the 2nd oldest Synagogue in the hemisphere. Sand floors are amazing. Only about 2 blocks off the beat and path of the main shops. Free to go in and take photos. Even if you not Jewish it's worth the trip if you appreciate such things.

One of the oldest synagogues in the Western Hemisphere. Definitely worth a visit. There is no admission fee, but they do accept donations.

Pretty awesome place. The second oldest Synagogue in the western hemisphere! The Synagogue floor is covered with sand. You'd think it's because the of the tropical location but actually it's just to make the service quite. The guide your is amazing. They are open for tourists again since the October 2020. Must see.

Pretty cool synagogue. We had a private tour that lasted about 20 minutes. It was free and informative. Worth the quick trip to see it.

Step back in time, not only when the chosen people were being persecuted by the nazies, but even further back as a surging nation gathering to worship the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

What a beautiful synagogue!! It was worth the trip up the steep hill. We went in because we were hot and tired and this was one of the few places on our self-guided historic walking tour that allowed you to go in. Inside we found a beautiful facility filled with so much history. There's a museum with lots of information and photos that tell the synagogue's story. The rabbi was there and actually greeted us and answered questions. The sand floor and why it has a sand floor was fascinating information. We stayed for quite awhile to take it all in.

I talked to the warden in my visit right after it opened at 9:30 am (on Dec. 27, 2023). The formal tour requires a minimum of 4 when there was only me. So, I was not really given a formal tour though the nice warden talked with me quite a bit on and off. But it seemed to me that he was worried about the security of the Congregation, presumably due to what had happened in Israel and Gaza. He told me quite a few things. When I asked him whether the sand on the floor was really symbolic for the Exodus of Egypt, he said that there might be 5 stories which are all true, including the fact that the sand wouldn't create much noise when the fishermen stepped in with their heavy boots 😀

This isn't a meal. This is a culinary experience. One of the best restaurants on St. Thomas. Every detail is well thought out and amazing. The appetizers, the cocktails, the main courses, as well as dessert were all over the top. The location is also great and feels both historic and laid back. If you come to St Thomas, you owe it to yourself to try this place.

From start to finish, our experience was nothing short of exceptional. Aaron, our server, was professional, attentive, and ensured we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The food? Absolutely out of this world! Every course – from appetizers to main dishes to desserts – was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. We were especially impressed when the chef personally came to our table to ask for feedback. It’s clear they care deeply about the quality of their food and guest satisfaction. Highly recommend a visit – this place is a gem!

This is a nice upscale restaurant to eat at while in St. Thomas. Very cool history behind the place. The food was phenomenal. I have no complaints. It was the best dinner we had the entire time on the island. They’re often changing their menu.

Old Stone Farmhouse is hands down amazing!! Sin our waitress was so helpful and very accomodating! We went for my newphews graduation dinner and she gave a cute congratulations card from the staff at the end! They say reservations were needed but it wasnt terribly busy. Valet is around the back of the building.

Truly a Phenomenal Restaurant. Mouthwatering food and outstanding service. Visited during our 25th Wedding Anniversary Celebrations with great friends and we cannot wait to come back.

We reserved a spot for dinner after our wedding. We unfortunately got lost on the way there and weee super late. The staff was amazing and allowed us to still have dinner. We didn’t feel rushed at all and everyone was so kind. Such a beautiful way to end our wedding night.

Great place . The food was excellent along with a great ambiance and atmosphere. Beautiful setting in an old farmhouse. Friendly waitress and excellent service . Definitely a must do.

This is how great this place is, first of all I don’t do a lot of reviews and I usually wait until I am done. The ciopinno is absolutely amazing and I have had many cioppinos, from the birthplace of cioppino in San Francisco and other parts of the country. The flavors of the sauce is wonderful, spicy but not too spicy, not over savory. The seafood was cooked to perfection. My husband is currently eating the osso bucco and it is very very good. We have had our share of both of these dishes and so far this is the best. 5 stars all around, food, service and atmosphere. The only things we didn’t really like is when we received the bill, we were automatically charged a credit card fee and gratuity, they didn’t give us the option to pay cash or add the gratuity:(

We had a great experience here. We didn’t have a reservation so we sat at the bar for about 20 minutes waiting for a table. We had the best time talking to the bartender, Albert. Such a nice guy! The time flew by. Once we got to the table our main waitress was, Lola, but almost all the wait staff stopped by to check on us and see how our experience was. The food was top notch. Table side Caesar salad was amazing and both our pasta dishes were some of the best we’ve had. I would highly recommend coming here for the food and the amazing service. Will come back when we visit again!

Staff is very professional, they were also prepared for the power outage. Excellent food, soup served from an old school pot which was a nice touch. The restaurant is overwhelmed with paintings of different styles. A little pricey but the experience is worth it!

Fabulous all around. Great service, quality food (house made pasta, the staff is more than accommodating and really want the patrons to feel welcome and enjoy themselves (and their food). Great art work everywhere you look and just a great atmosphere in general. I will make a point to come here every time I return to St Thomas. Slurge a bit and save room for the bananas foster!

Very cute and nostalgic place. Drinks were amazing, I had a cosmo. Unfortunately we found a long string of hair in our appetizer that wasn’t ours so we cancelled the actual dinner food. My partner no longer wanted to eat there. I’m sure it was probably good but that dampened the experience for us. Also wait staff is very serious and not as warm. But maybe that’s the norm there.

Consistently delicious with incredible service and an intimate atmosphere. We return for girl’s nights, date nights, birthdays, and just an excuse to eat delicious Italian food. The table-side Caesar is delicious and fun to watch, the pastas and entrees are always delicious, and the espresso martinis and tiramisu are my favorite after dinner treats on island. They also make you feel super special for birthdays, with a big sparkler and music, the whole restaurant seems to chime in to celebrate with you. We’ll definitely return, it’s one of our favorite places, and

We were sent here on the recommendation from a bartender and I am so glad we listened. This place is amazing. From the attentive staff, to the fresh food, the art pieces and table side bananas foster. It was all perfect. Yes, it’s pricey but you get what you pay for and it was worth every penny. The restaurant was filled with large parties but we never felt neglected because there was only two of us. The food was to die for. We started with the table side Cesar salad, hands down best I have ever had. We will definitely be eating here again when we return to the island.

Chill atmosphere (dimmed lighting). Service was great. Came for the lunch menu. We had conch fritters(fried), French onion soup (good), Gumbo soup (( Good, not spicy), Jambalaya (plenty of shrimp), and finished it all with the yummy beignets(right out of the fryer/warmed)!

This place is an absolute gem! The owner, Charlie, was so friendly, open, and generous — you can really feel how much he cares about creating a great experience for his guests. Our server, Zack, did an excellent job and was attentive and timely throughout our meal. The food was beyond great — full of depth and flavor that truly exceeded my expectations. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and perfectly balanced. If you’re visiting St. Thomas, do yourself a favor and give this place a try. You won’t be disappointed!

This spot is such a quiet, authentic gem. We loved everything about it. It didn’t feel tied to any fancy hotel scene — just relaxed and genuine. Our waitress, Lilly, was awesome: down-to-earth, helpful, and never pushy. Her recommendations were spot-on, the food was great, and we’d 100% come back.

Came here my first day on the island since this was really one of the places at the top of my list. We were gonna dine in but decided to take the food to go and head down to Brewers beach. BUTTTTTT what I really came to say was get the conch fritters and not just one order you'll be mad!!! I ate at so many places while on the island..... but I couldn't get over the conch fritters they were just really that damn good!!! For entrees we both got the blackened snapper which came with rice and a corn salsa which was 10/10. The drinks are also made well had French75 and it hit the spot can't wait to go back, also the food reheats well!!!

We had a great dinner here, the food was good and the waiter was great as well. I took one point off for atmosphere because we were seated right next to the loud kitchen entrance when half the restaurant was empty and we had to ask to move to another table, the waiter seemed annoyed at the request, but he got over it. We started with French onion soup and a salad, both were great. We then had the filet with red wine reduction (without the blue cheese topper) and the Salmon, again both were wonderful. Lastly we ended with the bananas foster bread pudding and the cheesecake, they were both amazing. All the food here seemed fresh and had amazing flavor. There is a reason this place has the reputation that it does. Our food was around $150 for 2 people plus gratuity so definitely not cheap either. This is definitely a top place to eat on St. Thomas.

Pretty dark and plain look inside, but the food was really good and the service was really nice as well. Overall was a good experience. I would eat there again for sure

The best meal we had on the island! Snapper with lemon caper sauce was delicious. Corn side dish was the best corn I’ve ever had! Highly recommend! Quick and friendly service!

We dined here for a late lunch and tried their Salad with Conch and the Honey Dipped Fried Chicken. The food was okay, but the view was nice. It was near the seaplane base and it was nice to watch it land and take off.

I think the Bar tender and Chef are secretly competing for best reviews... My mojito was flawless, stiff and great tasting and the food was amazing! I really enjoyed everything we ordered.

This place as absolutely amazing. One of the best meals we had in the island. We are a Haitian family who felt like we were eating our mom’s cooking. The oxtail was cooked to perfection. I’ve never had grouper cooked and seasoned like this. The red beans and rice was the closest I’ve found to my mom’s. The mojito was refreshing. We ordered a second round of oxtail and Cesar salad because they were that good. We bought hot sauce to take home. Mary was a fantastic server! Skip the conch fritters, too much bread.

Worth a visit...! The lady and I came down to St. Thomas as part of a travel group, but we ventured out on our own for food. After a dissatisfactory and expensive experience at the Greenhouse Restaurant and Bar, we decided to head east and see if things got any better in that direction. It absolutely did...! The first time around the lady had a simple cheeseburger and fries, but I had opted for the conch with butter sauce, some kind of yellow rice and vegetables. Both meals were tasty, although I could've gone for slightly larger portions and I have a sense that the conch would be both more tasty and more satisfying in the hands of a more capable chef-this is not to say it was bad at all. The second time around we had some salmon (lox) omelets with some of their passion fruit juice to get the day started right. I think you'd be quite happy with them versus some of the other nearby venues and since you'll be sitting quite literally on the water you will also enjoy some rather splendid views of the water while a cool breeze keeps your sweat at bay.

This place gets 5 stars just because it's so cool! The staff is friendly. The food is good but the view is AWESOME! You can watch the boats and sea planes come and go while you dine.

Petite Pump Room Bar was a nice place in regards to food, service and most of all the view. It is located right above the ferry terminal in Charlotte Amalie. The service is quick and friendly. The view is so beautiful. Now the food for what you are actually ordering is slightly overpriced ($16-17 for a omelet for example). However, they do give you large portions and the view makes up for it. So make this a place you stop at. They are considerate with your time as most people are passing through to travel, so I recommend for a quick bite. I only went for breakfast. They are only open for breakfast and lunch. If you go on a Friday or Saturday try their local salt fish breakfast and bush tea!

Waiting for the ferry to Tortola!! Rum Punch and Red Stripe! :) Great views, cool vibe in a bustling restaurant/bar. Check them out when waiting for your ferry!!

Very good italian spot in St. Thomas. In a great alley off of the waterfront with plenty of seating. Food is really good, especially the pizza. The lobster truffle pizza was so flavorful and delicious as well as the meat lovers! As with everything on St Thomas, a little pricey but here the price of of one pie was about $20-$30 dollars. Not bad.

We've been here a few times, and it's always consistent and not in a good way. Probably the worst Italian food we've ever had, every time. Caesar salad was soggy from the dressing even though our server said it was light. The croutons were sooooo hard. I thought my crown was gonna pop off. The sausage and peppers were overly vinegary and salty. The Bologna pasta was oversauced and overcooked. Another soggy mess. We were the only ones dining and I'm guessing the food was leftover from day before or even the day before that. Very bad. Also, they advertise aperol spritz but don't carry aperol or were out of aperol so we resorted to some knock off? Youve been warned. Photos for context. We won't even rate the pizza or paninis. Won't be back.

Great Italian spot in the heart of Charlotte Amalie. The location is tucked away off the main drag and the food was quite good. The Lobster and Truffle pizza I would highly recommend, a long with the Lombardy pasta (pictured).

I rolled up on Cafe Amici in St. Thomas after stolling through the many walkways connecting Main Street and Waterfront Drive. I stopped by with a friend who was visiting and it wasn't too busy when we got there. We were served right away and that was great. My favorite item that I tried was the calzone. The area was breezy and the staff were very friendly.

This place was down an alley in the Charlotte Amalie area. Attached to the side of a Turkish shop with laps and rugs. We we very hungry and it smelled great. I got a cheese pizza to go.. it was not what I was expecting. Kinda like a Red Baron frozen pizza taste. But fillled us up..

One of the best Italian restaurants with homemade Marinara sauce. The food was delicious, service was excellent and the atmosphere perfect. Stopped here while on a cruise with port call to St Thomas. Highly recommended. Sat at the bar, had a couple of drinks and ordered food. The bartender was excellent.

The staff was amazing. We didn’t know they opened at 11 and the staff let us come in a little early. Our food was great our waitresses Michele, Jen, and Cat All waited on us and we’re all great. If we ever go back to St. Thomas, I will definitely go Cafe Amici again
