The Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo (BAMZ)
Flatts Inlet. The theme here is islands of the world, with a mission to inspire appreciation and care of island environments. See more than 100 species of indigenous Bermuda fish in ocean and reef environments, including the spectacular 145,000-gallon North Rock exhibit. See animals from the Caribbean, Australia, Asia, Madagascar, and Galapagos in the zoo.

Bermuda Beaches
You probably wonder why Bermuda’s beaches are pink. Are they blushing? With all the couples who come here on a romantic getaway, just maybe. In reality, the ephemeral hue you see is a result of shell particles, calcium carbonate, and bits of crushed coral mixed with sand.

Bermuda Maritime Museum
The Bermuda Maritime Museum is set within the Keep, a sprawling six-acre fortress at the edge of the Royal Naval Dockyard at Bermuda’s West End. Inside eight historic buildings, including old munitions warehouses and the newly restored and award-winning Commissioner’s House, contain a great variety of exhibitions on Bermuda’s rich history. Whether taking in some local history, stunning views from the ramparts, or exploring Bermuda’s largest fort, there is plenty to see and learn at this important cultural attraction.

Bermuda Perfumery
North Shore Road. It began in 1929 and was originally called the “Lili Perfumery” by Madeline and Herbert Scott. Ten years later the Perfumery was moved into a 250-year-old house, and that is where you’ll find it today. The air is fragrant with the heavenly scents of Easter lily, oleander, jasmine, passionflower, and frangipani. All these flowers are grown on the grounds and are turned into perfumes using the ancient enfleurage process. And all the enticing and enchanting perfumes are for sale here, too. The various flower specimens are marked in the lush gardens and on the nature trails. And don’t miss the alluring orchid house.

Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute
East Broadway, Hamilton Harbour. The Ocean Discovery Centre is a unique and exciting way to uncover the mysteries of the ocean. Learn about our planet above and below the water, take a simulated submersible dive to the ocean floor, and explore Bermuda’s ecosystem through interactive film, video, and computer simulation.

Botanical Gardens
Paget. Here’s the ultimate experience for your senses. For a heavenly scent of Bermuda, follow your nose to the Botanical Gardens. This is a fragrant haven for the island’s exotic subtropical plants, flowers, and trees. The impressive grounds are the best place to enjoy and identify the island’s delightful flora. Some of the highlights of this 36-acre paradise include a palm garden with native palmetto trees, a subtropical fruit garden, a garden for the blind that features scented plants, a ficus collection, and a flowering hibiscus garden. In addition, there are greenhouses with orchids, bromeliads, a miniature forest, an aviary, and a variety of flowering houseplants. The white house on the grounds of the Botanical Gardens is Camden, the official residence of Bermuda’s Premier. The house is open for tours, except when official functions are scheduled.

Burnt Point Fort One of the oldest forts on St. George’s Island. It was built in 1688 to defend the western approach to St. George’s Harbour from enemy ships and prevent illegal trading by Bermudian vessels.

Crystal Caves
Wilkinson Avenue. Located 80 feet underground, Bermuda’s Crystal Caves are probably the island's best-known cavern. Crystal Caves is one of the largest cave systems in Bermuda, and its dramatic stalactites and stalagmites never cease to amaze and inspire. You will love the pontoon bridge walk across the underground Cahow Lake, whose crystal-clear depth is 55 feet. Visitors to Crystal Caves are also invited to take a leisurely walk in the beautiful Palm Garden. And children especially enjoy panning for hidden gems at Captain Jack’s Treasure Trove. There is a fine gift shop and a snack bar on the premises.

Ferry Island Fort
During the American Revoluntionary War it was suggested that if Bermuda was attacked, the population should retreat via ferry to St. George’s, where a stand would be made. A battery was erected at the top of Ferry Island in the 1790s, which was replaced by the fort you see today in the 1870s.

Fort Hamilton
Happy Valley Road. This fort, built to protect Hamilton Harbour, has panoramic views. A peaceful place with well-tended lawns, a garden moat, dungeons, and never-used, 18-tonne artillery pieces relocated here from Fort Langton.

Fort St. Catherine
Duke of Kent Street. A significant part of Bermuda’s military history. Although there has been a fortification at St. Catherine’s Point for almost as long as there has been a Bermuda, the present fort dates from the 19th century. Inside and out, from the powder magazine to the gun platforms, the story of Bermuda’s history is well told.

Gates Fort
Standing at the edge of Town Cut, the shipping passage to St. Geroge’s Harbour, Davers Fort as it was initially known, was first shown on a map published in 1626. Rebuilt in the 1790s, the keep served as a barracks in the 1800s, and was home to a local family from 1870 until 1922, when the property was returned to the Bermuda Government.

Martello Tower
Bermuda’s only martello tower was built during the 1820s of hard Bermuda stone. The only access is by drawbridge, which crosses the ditch to the barracks on the second level. To the north of the tower is a magazine; its walls are reinforced by flying buttresses and the roof is structurally weaker so that in the event of an explosion, the roof would be blown off leaving the walls intact.

The Royal Naval Dockyard
Ireland Island North. Built by slave and convict labor, the Dockyard became a strategic outpost for the Royal Navy. In 1869, the world’s largest floating dry dock was installed here. Thanks to an imaginative redevelopment programme, many of the historic old naval buildings have been converted into restaurants with character, shops with Victorian elegance, and arts and crafts workshops. The “flagships” are undoubtedly the Clocktower Centre, and the Bermuda Maritime Museum, set in the body of the fort. It is easy to explore all the Dockyard attractions on foot.
