Settling into Bermuda is relatively easy. First-timers soon learn that Bermuda isn't one island, as is commonly thought, but a string of islands linked by causeways and bridges -- at least the 20 or so that are inhabited. The other islands can be reached by boat.
Bermuda is prosperous, characterized by neat, trim houses that are a source of great pride to their owners. There won't be a casino at your megaresort -- Bermuda has no casinos -- and you'd better have your fill of Big Macs before you leave home. There are some fast-food joints, but nothing like those on the U.S. mainland, or even in the Bahamas. There's a sense of order in Bermuda, and everything seems to work efficiently, even when the weather's hot.
In this guide, you'll find everything you need to plan your trip, from when to go to how to land the best package deals. Getting to Bermuda is easier than ever, thanks to more frequent flights from such gateway cities as New York, Boston, and Washington, D.C. We've also included information on several cruise lines that sail to the island from spring until late autumn.
