Bermuda, one of the world's favourite Caribbean islands, is actually a sprinkling of more than 130 islands arranged in a scenic archipelago, with the largest linked by bridges. Famed for soft pink sands and superb diving among reefs and wrecks, Bermuda’s natural attractions include the staggering Crystal Caves, where wispy stalactites hang above a turquoise lake, and the Botanical Gardens with hibiscus and frangipani.

Hamilton

Hamilton is the main port and pretty pastel-shaded capital of Bermuda, one of the world's favourite Caribbean destinations. From Hamilton, all the sightseeing boats, ferries and local buses depart and all the cruise liners arrive, and its busy Front Street is the main shopping area of the island. No-one who travels to Bermuda can avoid visiting Hamilton, the focal point of the island's historic sightseeing and commercial activity. Although it is officially a city, boasting a massive 19th-century neo-Gothic cathedral, Hamilton is just the size of a town. Throughout, British influences have blended comfortably with the casual island style. Visitors can explore elegant buildings like the Royal Yacht Club and Historical Museum, or take a ride in a quaint horse-drawn 'surrey with a fringe on the top.’

Attractions

• The Georgian-style Sessions House, on Church Street. It dates back to 1815 and serves as Bermuda's House of Assembly and Supreme Court.
• Fort Hamilton, for the splendid views it offers of the city, harbour and Gibb's Hill Lighthouse.
• The state-of-the-art Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute, one of Bermuda's more recent attractions. Just a 15-minute walk from Hamilton, this multi-million dollar institute showcases the natural wonders of the surrounding oceans, and offers a simulated dive in a capsule and interactive exhibits detailing local reef wrecks, plant and animal life.

King’s Wharf

King's Wharf has something for everyone. Sample typical island food and stroll through the shops and museums of the Royal Naval Dockyard, an impressive military fortress built in 1815. Sail the clear waters of Hamilton Sound. Find quaint gems at the Bermuda Arts Center and Craft Market. If that's not enough, a snorkel park and water sport facility offer hours of adventure.
