The 10 Best Budget-friendly Things to do in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

September 8, 2021 Christa Meece

The largest city in the U.S. Virgin Islands is a popular shopping center, home to 20,000 people, upscale shops, ecotours and underwater safaris. This former haunt of pirate ships now hosts millions of cruise passengers every year. Look beyond the boutiques and discover historic sights such as the bright red, 17th-century Fort Christian, the graceful green Legislature Building, the 1793 brick Lutheran Church and the taxing 99 steps stairway. Charlotte Amalie is easy to explore on foot.

Once again, Imperial Dynasty was truly a pleasure to visit. It’s the only jewelry store we visit when in St. Thomas (there are a LOT), and this trip did not disappoint. Vandy, Rita and their staff were wonderful as always: warm, welcoming, great listeners, and gave helpful suggestions but never pushy. The Imperial Dynasty ladies worked together w/out any sense of competition, just genuinely a lovely time shopping for jewelry. Their designs are plentiful and creative, prices manageable regardless of your budget. Cold drinks were a nice treat on a hot day. We look forward to visiting again and no trip to St. Thomas would be complete w/out stopping by Imperial Dynasty to see Vandy & Rita. They treated us like family. Thanks again for the great memories, ladies— we shall return for your warm hospitality, friendliness and beautiful jewelry!

Grand Jewelers

Duty-Free Tax-Free fine Jewelry on St. Thomas Virgin Islands.

Reviewed By scarder55 - Payson, United States

If you are looking for an incredible jewelry buying experience in St Thomas, than you must make sure you give Grand Jewelers and Navin an opportunity to earn your business. Like most people making a substantial purchase, it serves us well to do some prior research. I did just that before arriving in St Thomas. We went to two other highly rated Jewelry stores on St Thomas, in addition to Grand Jewelers. The other stores were very professional and appeared fair in their prices. However, our experience with Navin at Grand Jewelers was far more than just a jewelry shopping experience.. Navin was extremely patient with us and very straight forward in spending hours pulling out inventory for us to consider and sharing the related pricing options.At no time were we ever pressured into buying! It took three trips, before my future fiancé could finally decide on the setting and diamond! Navin was so exceptional in providing us with a first class 3.5 carat diamond ring at a very competitive price. The best thing that came out of this buying experience is that I met Navin, an outstanding person. He is a class act and so professional and knowledgeable in his field. We ended up also purchasing diamond ear rings, as an early Christmas present. There are so many Jewelry Store choices in St Thomas. I would however suggest you make it your mission to meet Navin and give him a shot at earning your trust and business. I know he will treat you fairly, without any pressure to buy a single item.

Frenchtown Brewing Company

The Virgin Islands only 3 barrel nano brewery, located in the quaint fishing village of Frenchtown on St. Thomas, invites you to tour and sample their island hopped craft beers. Visiting hop heads are welcome to stop by for a tour and taste of the seasonal brews and go with their favorites in a refillable stainless steel growler perfect for the beach. Our beers are on draft around the island.

Reviewed By Ryanbeerlover - Avon, United States

Called and they were more than happy to allow us to pick a time that suited us to come to the brewery for a tasting. This attic-of-a-brewery is a true small pearl in a sea of over-saturated breweries. Kevin has a bright future in the world of brewing and his future expansion project will, no doubt, be a great success. We so much appreciated that he opened his doors to us and shared his passion and story telling about beer making and drinking in St Thomas and Belgium. We even took him up on his local restaurant recommendation and, not surprisingly, it was the best meal of our trip. Thanks again from your newest fans and friends from Colorado. Cheers!
