This fort was great to hear about and then see. It is enormous and they are putting a lot of work into restoring the rooms- there is sleeping quarters, a prison, etc. Walking around something so old and envisioning some of the battles that took place is great for history buffs. The views are another story all together. They are... more

We're sailed a good deal in the south Caribbean, but for our first adventure in the British West Indies, Brimstone Hill is I think the best restored historical site we've seen. What a treasure! And the delightful tour guide gave us a wonderful recommendation for our picnic in a semi-secluded area with a view of the Caribbean that was breathtaking.... more

We drove our rental car on an around-the-island tour one afternoon. If you are in the area and you enjoy history, you really owe it to yourself to visit Brimstone Hill. The locals have done a great job restoring it and the exhibits are very informative. Make sure and pick up an audio tour guide as you enter. It looks... more

This was part of a 3 hr bus tour of the western side of St. Kitts. The bus was over crowded, making a number of us mad. Overall, the tour was not worth even the $49 pp, but the one bright spot was this fortress. Definitely the best stop on any of our shore excursions in the Caribbean. The view... more

An abosolute must see for those visiting St Kitts! The fort offers a look back into the islands rich history and also offers an incredible view of this beautiful island. A brief TV program in the visitor center at the gift shop gives you an introduction to the forts history. You will also be provided with a recorded tour to... more

The Brimstone Hill Fortress is breathtaking. It has awesome views, and its buildings are very well renovated. You'll also find some small, but interesting musuem exhibits. It is definitely worth a few hours walking around. If you are into the historical details, however, you may wish to read up before you go. The audio guides, real life guides and introductory... more

We arrived right before closing so we only had a few minutes but it was worth the hike up the stairs to see the amazing views of the island. We had a taxi driver take us on an island tour which I recommend. It is worth the $80 bucks (for two). Everything on the island closes early (around 4) and... more

Most of our time was spent driving around the island or sampling beach bars, but we did manage to see Brimstone Fortress, which was amazing. The scale is not as large as El Morro in Old San Juan, but it was beautifully restored and the beautiful backdrop of Mt. Liamuiga on one side and the Caribbean on the other somehow... more

This fortress is definitely the finest in the entire Eastern Caribbean, as well as the largest and best preserved, and only one of 5 in the entire Eastern Caribbean worth actually checking out. My personal ranking is: 1) Brimstone Hill, St. Kitts. 2) Nelson's Dockyard & Shirley Heights, Antigua. 3) Fort St. Louis, Martinique. 4) Pigeon Island, St. Lucia. 5)... more
