Main Street St. Thomas Even if the island wasn’t duty free, St. Thomas would still probably be known for having the best shopping plaza in the Caribbean. While strolling along Main Street or Dronningens Gade as it is oftentimes called, you can buy anything from electronics, perfumes, designer clothing, to bottles of alcohol and diamonds. Its cobblestone alleyways and other landmarks are reminiscent of the island’s Danish history with Danish colonial architecture evident throughout Charlottte Amalie, the capital. The hurricane in 2017 severely damaged the shops on Main Street and some even now, are still boarded up, but the shopping experience is still second to none in the Caribbean.
