About Fort Fincastle and the Queen’s Staircase

Nassau’s fort on the hill above the town and the 66 limestone steps of the Queen’s Staircase below it, cut between 1793 and 1794 by enslaved people, as the cruise port records; a 15-minute walk from the ships.

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Fort Fincastle and the Queen’s Staircase before you go.
