Creator's Key Takeaways

We spent just $28 a person to see 400 years of history downtown.

It's really a a wonderful thing that it's just open for you to kind of feel the place.

All in all, I think being a really hot, humid day for us to capture 400 years of history and spending less than $30 to do it was definitely a win.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take the $6 open-air taxi downtown for affordable transportation.
Visit the St. Thomas Synagogue for a free, unique historical experience.
Be prepared for rain and humidity; carry an umbrella or plan for shelter.
Check out the alleyways and open market for local vibe and shopping.
If visiting Fort Christian, be cautious on the roof due to lack of safety railings.
