The capital town of St Kitts, Basseterre, is known for its beautiful architectural influences from the French and English settlers who occupied the territory. There are an innumerable number of historical sites and building, dating back to the 17th century. Basseterre certainly enjoyed its glory days, as land owners amassed large sums of money from the bygone profitable era of the sugar cane plantations.

Here the streets are teaming with delectable restaurants and interesting shops to explore. The resort developments have favoured the nearby south eastern peninsula, where the best beaches are found. Water and land sports abound, as the several nature sites to see.
