courtcole0902 Posted April 6, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Is this a tourist trap or worth the time and money? It seems interesting with a nice view but Im unsure if its worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamommyof3 Posted April 6, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 6, 2017 wondering the same thing......my son is really into castles, considering a visit. Do you know if you can walk to the castle from downtown Charlotte Amalie?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted April 6, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 6, 2017 As I recall, and it's been a few years back now, the "castle" is just a tall tower. But you enter through a home/inn with lots of antiques and interesting furnishings and a good historic park. $10 or $15 to enter. There's a rum tasting room. And yes you can walk from downtown C.A. but take a tram or taxi from the cruise port to downtown. It is up hill. I wouldn't pay for a guided tour as its easily seen DIY.

We were dropped there at the end of our excursion, down the 99 steps into town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted April 9, 2017 #6 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Don't make the mistake of thinking this is an actual castle at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmc Posted April 15, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Blackbeards Castle is now an independent boutique hotel. You can tour the gardens, but have to pay an entrance fee. The walk up there is very nice and the views are wonderful. It was a nice side trip (walking) but didn't pay to go inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovevacadays Posted April 16, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Not worth the money!! Spend your money booking a private tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
