St. Kitts & Nevis
Basseterre
A scenic railway and a UNESCO fortress.
Brimstone Hill fortress, a sugar-train railway, and the green cone of Nevis offshore.
Basseterre is the gateway to a two-island nation the rest of the Caribbean hasn't caught up with. The UNESCO fortress of Brimstone Hill, the 'Gibraltar of the West Indies', commands the heights with vast sea views. A narrow-gauge sugar-train railway loops the island past old plantation estates, with Nevis rising green across the strait.
