Experience Bermuda’s Warm Welcome in Hamilton

Why you should go: Bermuda’s captivating heritage—a fusion of maritime lore and diverse cultural customs—imbues its compact capital with cosmopolitan flair. Anchoring this charming tableau is the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club, affectionately dubbed the Pink Palace, a hotel whose illustrious past encompasses service as a WWII intelligence hub (and inspiration for Ian Fleming’s legendary James Bond), a favored retreat of Mark Twain, and a benchmark of Bermudian hospitality for over 140 years. You’ll also find fantastic shopping, restaurants serving island specialties, and a glamorous yacht scene to make even 007 feel underdressed. Add a dash of culture to your visit with a self-guided walking tour of local and international art, beginning at the Bermuda National Gallery in Hamilton’s City Hall, where works span the centuries. From there, walk to the Historical Society Museum and National Library to browse rare island artifacts before strolling down Front Street, where, on Wednesday evenings in the summer, visitors can enjoy al fresco meals, shop artisan goods, and watch Bermuda’s Gombey dancers perform during Harbour Nights.
