Hamilton, population 15,000, is Bermuda's capital. Overlooking Hamilton Harbor, it serves as Bermuda's legislative and commercial center. Located in Hamilton are the best selection of Bermuda's shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs.
Front Street is the busiest area of the city where cruise ships dock along side island- hopping ferries and site-seeing boats. Visitors enjoy the 19th C colonial architecture of Hamilton's pastel-colored buildings and its galleries, museums, and churches.
Shopping for Bermudian products and European imports prevail, as branches of prominent North American stores are not allowed. Hamilton is the center of Bermuda's transportation system, so you can depend on visiting Hamilton frequently if you are using the system's pink buses.
The Cabinet Building, built in 1833, houses Bermuda's Senate and the offices of the Premier. The Sword of State, the Silver Oar and Mace, all symbols of government, are kept here. The cenotaph commemorates Bermuda's war dead.
