Rare MrSchwump Posted March 18, 2013 #4 Share Posted March 18, 2013 i have done many cruises but soon will be visiting Basseterre, st kitts for first time, can we stroll off and walk round shops etc from the ship or do we need taxi. also what are the prices like compared to other caribbean portsany info appreciated thanks I think Basseterre is pretty walkable. It's not the most scenic city but very vibrant and lively. The waterfront to the left of the pier has markets and things. Not much to the right. There are a couple of churches and a public square as well. We walked around a little then went to the "circus" where we found a taxi to go to Brimstone Hill. Our driver, Matey, was a great guy and took us there and back for $50. He waited while we toured the fort. It was about a half hour each way. Matey pointed out some sites of interest, let us stop for pictures, etc. He was a very nice guy and I'd recommend him. He sits in the "circus" which is a traffic circle in the middle of town.
