Streets squares and districts to visit Philipsburg

To feel the soul of yesteryear, you will have to discover the architecture of the oldest street in Philipsburg. Very small (you will cross it in 5 minutes), its interest lies in its small stores, and especially in its architecture. The old colonial houses are very colorful and give a nice glimpse of what the city was like before the massive urbanization of the island. The old car is iconic and remains the star of the alley. It's worth noting that after Hurricane Irma hit in 2017, renovations have beautified the neighborhood.

Here you'll find everything you need to fill your suitcase with souvenirs. This charming pedestrian zone is the ideal place for luxury duty-free shopping and sipping a drink overlooking Great Bay, Philipsburg's magnificent beach. During the day, you'll see many liners dropping off cruisers in search of the best deals in the city'sduty-free stores. It's a lively place, with music everywhere: to see tourists dancing at all hours of the day and night is symbolic of the festive vacation that Sint-Marteen is famous for.
