Situated in the Sargasso Sea, in the Atlantic Ocean, north of the Caribbean and east of North Carolina in the United States is the island of Bermuda. This British Overseas Territory has one large island and 138 smaller islands and islets.
International flights to Bermuda are welcomed in the Bermuda International Airport (airport code: BDA). This is nearer the town of St George than the capital, Hamilton, but transport and roads on Bermuda are very good so it’s easy to get from one place to the next. Your flight to Bermuda from the UK will be indirect, with one or two stops. Airlines such as Continental Airlines, Air Canada, Virgin Atlantic Airways, Delta Air Lines, and British Airways offer travellers flights to Bermuda from the UK with one connection. Flight routes vary with the different airlines.
The Tourist Attractions of Bermuda
Bermuda is an appealing destination for a variety of reasons. The British influence is easy to see, yet the warm climate gives Bermuda its own individual appeal. This certainly isn’t Britain in miniature, but the colonial architecture, English speaking locals, cars driving on the left, and more all remind you of its status as a British Overseas Territory!Beaches
Many visitors will come to Bermuda first and foremost to enjoy the nice weather and beaches, of which Bermuda has many. The fact there is also history and a range of attractions to enjoy here makes Bermuda all the more appealing, especially for visitors who like to combine relaxing on a beach with taking in the local sights.
Hamilton
Bermuda’s capital, and the only city here, is Hamilton. It is an historic city, though not as old as Saint George, and has an attractive assortment of old buildings, gardens and museums to enjoy. The city’s major landmark is the Anglican Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity. Nearby to Hamilton, the Royal Navy Dockyard and Bermuda Maritime Museum and amongst the top tourist attractions in Bermuda.
Saint George
Established in 1612, Saint George is older than Hamilton and until 1815 it was the capital of Bermuda. Since the capital was moved to Hamilton, rather than become a quiet backwater, Saint George has benefited over the years and now, in terms of tourism, it is the more favourable of the two destinations. The town has been little developed since losing its status as capital and hence has many historical buildings to enjoy.
Saint George is actually the oldest continually inhabited British settlement in the new world and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The quaint narrow streets and alleyways, and colonial buildings take you back to old England. At the heart of the town is King’s Square where period re-enactments take place during the summer, as the Town Hall watches over. Visitors may find that Saint George is worth a couple of day trips to really make the most of all the historic buildings, museums and gardens that are here.
Flatts Village
Situated on a picturesque inlet is the small settlement of Flatts Village. This attractive location is more reminiscent of a small Cornish fishing village than somewhere in Bermuda, and with the benefit of being the home of the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo, this is a good place for a day trip.
