Basseterre
Set before the dramatic backdrop of St. Kitts' lush green hills, this  city's name is taken from the French for low-land, although its colonial English heritage is more visible than the French.  Some of the must-see locations in the city are The Treasury Building, The Circus (a roundabout), St. George's Anglican Church, and Independence Square.

Brimstone Hill
Almost 800 feet above sea level, this fortress is historically one of the most dramatic spots in the  Caribbean.  Brimstone Hill sprawls over 38 acres with its massive Fort George citadel is constructed with seven-foot-thick walls of black volcanic stone--better known as brimstone.  This site is a must visit to learn more about the heroic battles between the French and English and to take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding islands.
