Transportation, Parking & Getting Around

Parking at The Castle`s Town & Sea View

Please note that parking is NOT guaranteed at the Castle. There is an area outside the building where guests may be able to park, but these spaces are not reserved for our property or its guests. Parking is strictly first-come, first-served, and availability is not guaranteed upon arrival.

If the available spaces are full, public parking may be available in downtown Charlotte Amalie. The Fort Christian area and the Havensight area are options to investigate, depending on your destination and current parking availability. Public parking can fill up quickly during busy periods, so plan ahead and allow extra time.

Rental Cars

Renting a car is a great option if you plan to explore beaches, scenic overlooks, and other parts of St. Thomas at your own pace. We recommend reserving in advance and confirming pickup arrangements, rates, and insurance directly with your rental company.

Keep in mind:

· Driving is on the left side of the road.
· Roads can be narrow, steep, and winding.
· Parking can be challenging in downtown Charlotte Amalie.
· If you plan to take a vehicle to St. John, confirm with your rental company that it is permitted on the car ferry.

Taxis & Open-Air Safari Taxis

Traditional taxis and open-air safari taxis are common ways to get around St. Thomas. Taxis are generally available at Cyril E. King Airport, and private transportation can also be arranged in advance.

Safari taxis offer an open-air way to travel around the island, while traditional taxis may be more convenient for direct trips. Confirm the fare and payment arrangements with your driver before departing, as prices vary by route and service.

Airport Transfers

Cyril E. King Airport serves St. Thomas. Taxis are commonly available outside the terminal, or you can arrange private transportation before your arrival. If you arrange a pickup, confirm the meeting point and fare with your driver in advance.

Exploring Downtown on Foot

The Castle is located in historic downtown Charlotte Amalie, making it a convenient starting point for exploring the town on foot. You can stroll through historic streets, browse local shops, visit restaurants, and discover landmarks such as the famous 99 Steps.

Wear comfortable walking shoes, as some streets and stairways are steep. Be mindful of uneven surfaces, hills, and traffic while exploring.

Planning a day trip to another island? Ferry services connect St. Thomas with nearby destinations.

Ride-Sharing & Other Transportation

Do not rely on Uber or Lyft as your primary transportation plan on St. Thomas. Availability can be limited or inconsistent, so taxis, rental cars, and prearranged transportation are generally safer options to plan around.

Boat rentals are another way to explore the coastline and nearby cays. If you`re interested, book through a reputable operator and confirm boating requirements, safety equipment, and any applicable licensing rules.

With a little planning, getting around St. Thomas can be part of the adventure. We recommend arranging transportation ahead of time whenever possible, especially during busy travel periods.
