Castries City

Castries is the capital and largest city of Saint Lucia, an island nation in the Caribbean. This bustling capital surrounds a deep harbour which serves as a popular cruise ship destination catering to over 600,000 cruise passengers a year. The town is perhaps best known for its excellent duty-free shopping as well as its rows of quaint, colourful houses. Visit the lively market to experience what National Geographic calls ‘one of the top ten food markets in the world’. Enjoy waterfront vistas from restaurants at Pointe Seraphine or La Place Carenage. Admire the architecture at Derek Walcott Square, visit the viewing point at Morne Fortune, or simply relax and catch a tan on one of the exquisite local beaches.
