St Kitts / Shopping

By James Henderson

Most of the shopping in St Kitts is in Basseterre, scattered at strategic points of the pretty town, particularly around the Circus and Independence Square and latterly at the cruise ship terminal Port Zante. Of course some of the larger hotels have shops too. There are some good artists working in St Kitts and Nevis, so if this particularly interests you, see our Art & Artisans section.
