Hamilton

Hamilton is the capital of Bermuda and its small, neat business centre, a grid of pastel buildings climbing from a deep harbour where ferries and yachts come and go. Front Street runs along the water with shops, bars and the old colonial arcades. Above it rise the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity and the white City Hall, and Fort Hamilton sits on the hill behind with a view over the harbour and its moat garden. The Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute tells the story of the reefs and the wrecks. The insurance and reinsurance offices keep the town busier than its size.
