Why you should go: The famous adage “the sun never sets on the British Empire” is easy to understand when you’re standing in the Royal Naval Dockyard, once the principal base of the Royal Navy in the western Atlantic. Today, the longtime marine hub is a destination for shopping and entertainment, not to mention the island’s largest cruise terminal. Here, you can book snorkeling trips, rent bicycles, shop for artisan-made crafts, explore the Bermuda National Museum, and catch a sightseeing cruise—like the Famous Homes and Hideaways tour, which takes visitors past the homes of resident celebrities. Make time for the Clocktower Mall, a former naval warehouse turned shopping mall filled with local goods, including colorful artworks by Lisa-Ann Rego Gallery, cedar crafts by the Littlest Drawbridge, pottery from artist Jon Faulkner, and more.
