Gustavia - Travel & Tourism Guide Gustavia - Saint-Barthélemy

Advertising

Gustavia, the island's capital, has a village feel, built around its natural harbor, sheltered from storms. Its monuments, or at least their remains, bear witness to its Scandinavian past: the island's Swedish history can be seen in the presence of forts Karl, Oscar and Gustav... Despite its small size, the town has just about everything you'd want on an island: a harbour with magnificent boats, a pretty shellfish beach, excellent restaurants, lively bars, luxury duty-free stores... And as an added bonus, the island's colorful, harmonious architecture lends it an undeniably picturesque charm.
