Gustavia, St Barts' red-roofed capital, is a small harbor town lined with chic boutiques, duty free shops, gourmet restaurants, and galleries. It is the main town of the island of Saint Barthélemy (also known as St. Barts). It was named after King Gustav III of Sweden. St. Barts was a French possession originally, and the area was called Carenage after the shelter it provided to damaged ships. Gustavia was founded after Sweden bought the island from France in 1785. The island was sold back to France in 1878.
For beautiful sightseeing views, visit Fort Gustav (the most important fort during the Swedish period), or head to the top of the 29 m hill for vistas of Shell Beach amid the few remaining stonewalls of Fort Karl!
For years I hesitated to travel to my country because of the details involved and the price of the airfare. The moment I contacted Milica at Trip Designs, I told my friends and family the wait was over and I have found my travel agency. The entire team comes together to get their customers the best experience possible.
I am in the planning stages of the trip but the excitement of planning is so pleasant that I know that I am in good hands. My only question is "Why didn't I find them sooner?" But I'm grateful that I found them now!!! Looking forward to my big journey back home!!!
