1. Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park

4.5 based on 1,597 reviews
The 'Gibraltar of the West Indies', this massive fortress on a limestone hilltop rises nearly 800 feet above sea level.
Reviewed By luv2travelmucho - Wallingford, United States
A must see!!! If you step foot on the island of St Kitts please do yourself a favor and make every attempt to make sure you visit this wonderful site. I rented a vehicle and I had a mini panic attack driving up and down the fortress driveways. Please take a cab. They do this trip every single day and are used to the hairpin turns and narrow alley ways that can freak you out very quickly if you are the driver so just sit back relax and look out the window. The admission fee is $10 per person cash only. We went on an early Sunday morning and had the entire place to ourselves which was awesome. There is a quick 10 minute introductory historical video to watch adjacent to the gift shop. The steep steps up to the left bring you to the most strikingly beautiful views of Saint kits and the islands of Saba and St Eustacius. There are probably 40 cannons to look at take pictures of and admire the beautiful scenery. The historic bell is also located on the top of the tiled roof. If you go below to the main open gallery Archway there is a different room to learn about every piece of history along your journey through end it is fascinating information. Once you take the steep steps back down there is beautiful views overlooking a vast field with gorgeous mountainous views as well as the adjacent ocean with ruin type stone arches. I highly recommend going early in the morning before it gets too hot and the crowds begin to develop. Bring plenty of water and wear proper foot gear. They were also absolutely gorgeous hibiscus flowers everywhere to admire.
2. Old San Juan
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 16,304 reviews
Consisting of 400 restored buildings from the 16th- and 17th-century Spanish colonial period, this area in San Juan is steeped in history with an old-world and romantic European charm.
Reviewed By MaryannL521 - Fair Oaks, United States
Old San Juan is beyond charming. There is so much history here, great architecture, landmarks, cobblestone streets, wonderful food, great museums, El Morro and San Cristobol, beautiful parks and plazas and lovely residential streets. We walked everywhere but also rode the free trolley. There are three trolley lines that will take you almost anywhere in the old city. A good place to begin is to stop at one of the many Tourist Information Centers. We found the one directly across from Pier One to be the most helpful. Here we got a list of museums and their hours as well as a self guided walking tour and directions to take the ferry to Casa Bacardi. Don't miss the San Juan Gate, Fortaleza Street, the cathedral, the San Juan Historic Cemetery and the Paseo de la Princesa. Enjoy!

4. Queen Emma Pontoon Bridge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 6,724 reviews
Swings wide many times daily to allow access to one of the busiest ports in the world. It also separates the two halves of the city.
Reviewed By tsobis - King of Prussia, United States
Queen Emma bridge, popularly known as the “Swinging Old Lady”, is a pedestrian pontoon bridge on the St. Anna bay that opens laterally for passage of ships and boats. It connects the two halves of the capital city Willemstad, Punda and Otrobanda. It’s a major thoroughfare for local pedestrians and tourists alike and has breathtaking instagrammable views from any angle on the bridge. Oops! Stuck on the bridge while it opens? Just enjoy the views and wave at the people on the ship. It’ll close up shortly. If you happen to want to cross while its open, don’t worry there are water taxi’s that will get you across the bay for FREE! Wanna stunt on the gram with minimal photo bombers? Go at sunrise, preferably on a Sunday; the views against the sunrise is phenomenal. The early rise is well worth it - the bridge has amazing backdrops from every angle! You can thank me later!
5. Old Havana

Bohemian, rhythmically Latin, certainly picturesque and, above all, charming.
Reviewed By Gantt-Tammy - Havana, Caribbean
La Habana is a great City to visit, old cars, great walks, good food and warm people, lots of live music, rum and cigars, history, art and plazas...be sure to hit Plaza de Revolution... The city has it all. The old City take a good day get through ...Sloppy Joe's, Floridita Street, and in modern Havana be sure to see Hotel Nacional and Tropicana. The Capitolo building is a great landmark to start from. If you can go inside, there is one of the largest diamonds in the world encased in the floor.

This was breath-less view of the ocean! Words cannot describe how beautiful it but it is must-see experience! When driving to the location, be careful of all the pot-holes though!
8. Altos de Chavon
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,995 reviews
Altos de Chavon, is an architectural wonder, a 16th century replica of a Mediterranean village perched high above the Chavón River. The village was designed by Dominican architect Jose Antonio Caro, and created by Italian master designer and cinematographer Roberto Coppa. Dominican artisans handcrafted the stone pathways, decorative ironwork, furniture and enchanting buildings, reviving almost forgotten crafts of metal work and stone carving. Under Coppa's direction, each stone was hand cut, each wooden door frame was handcrafted and each wrought-iron detail hand-forged. Construction of the village began in 1976 and the village was inaugurated in 1982 with the concert of Frank Sinatra at the amphitheater. Altos de Chavon was built as a center of culture for the Dominican people.
Reviewed By Maggie1190 - Orangeville, Canada
We visited n 2014 as part of an excursion and I’m so glad we went. The buildings and grounds are amazing to see. The amphitheater looks like something out of an old Roman movie. The fountain is absolutely beautiful. While walking through the grounds all we could smell was the hibiscus trees .. the Chavon river runs along it and we took a riverboat along the River where they filmed Rambo. Highly recommend a visit to this beautiful village

The world-famous reggae star's home, displaying Marley's guitar and other artifacts.
Reviewed By Allen1307 - Rugby, United Kingdom
I visited the Bob Marley Museum today anybody who visits Jamaica must see this museum It was Bob’s house in Kingston, his recording studio, where he played football, where he rehearsed, and where he hung out. It’s also where unidentified gunmen tried to assassinate him - you can still see the bullet holes. Our Tour guide was great very informative and friendly.
