About the Port
Hamilton, Bermuda's capital, greets arriving travelers with a harbor front lined in pastel-colored colonial architecture. Front Street, within walking distance of the pier, offers boutiques and shops selling the island's signature Bermuda shorts alongside cafés and galleries. The Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity, dating to 1869, rewards a climb up its tower with wide views over the city and harbor, while the Bermuda National Gallery provides a quieter cultural stop nearby.
Beyond the compact downtown, Hamilton serves as a gateway to the island's broader appeal. The Bermuda Botanical Gardens spread across thirty-six acres of rare and native plantings, and the Bermuda National Museum occupies a former fortress with exhibits on the island's maritime past. The old Railway Trail traces the coastline for hikers and cyclists, and the pink-sand beaches for which Bermuda is known lie a short trip from the capital's center.
Pavlus Recommendations
How our planners would spend a day in Hamilton.
Visit Horseshoe Bay Beach
One of Bermuda's most celebrated pink-sand beaches lies a short taxi or bus ride from downtown, with calm turquoise water for swimming and sea grape trees fringing the sand.
Explore Bermuda National Museum's Fortress
Wander the ramparts and exhibits of this former fortress and prison, tracing Bermuda's seafaring history, shipwrecks, and naval past a few minutes from the city center.
Climb the Cathedral Tower
Climb the narrow stairs of the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity for sweeping views over Hamilton's rooftops and harbor, a quick detour worth the effort for photos.
