Things to do in Bermuda, Bermuda: The Best Historic Sites
Don’t be fooled by Bermuda’s small size; this 21-square-mile Atlantic island is big on history, personality and charm, from pink-sand beaches to historic forts. It’s known for aquatic adventures like shipwreck scuba diving, cliff jumping and deep-sea fishing. On land you’ll find an eclectic island culture of vibrant neighborhoods, brightly colored shorts and delicious fish chowder.

This is very worth the $2 donation to tour if you do not, or cannot, attend services. Its history is tied to the Unfinished Church up the hill.

A tour of a historical home is only as good as the guide. So in this case the tour was amazing. Our wonderful guide was knowledgeable, informative, engaging and proved us with one of the highlights of our Bermuda vacation. I am so grateful that she donates her time to this Bermuda treasure. Don't miss it.

Stop by the building where the first Bermuda stamp was printed, see some of these famous first stamps and pick up a few contemporary commemorative stamps for yourself.

The post office is not just a place to post your postcards and letters. This is a slice of history; right next to the park and the museum this is a wonderful place to pop in and see beautiful old Bermuda cedar and they do special editions of stamps which is a great gift and also great for collectors. Often missed but shouldnt be. It will only take you 5 minutes to see but is well worth a visit if you havent been before

Ask if Patrick is around when you visit — super guy who loves to share the story of the fort, St. George’s & Bermuda ????????. We spent some time talking with him and could have talked with him all day — incredibly knowledgeable and a great ambassador for his island!!

As the Queen Victoria was docking at the Royal Naval Dockyard, we were struck by the house on the hill. We discovered it was the Commissioner’s House located within the National Museum of Bermuda. Although we did not have the time to visit the museum, we did read about the house. It is the oldest cast iron house in the world - built in 1820. In fact, the frame of the building was cast in England and then brought to Bermuda. It was left abandoned in the 1950’s and then the house went through a twenty-year restoration and is now the crown jewel of an already impressive collection of historical buildings and artifacts.
