To Experience the authentic Bermuda , Brittany says , . . .

Bermuda is the home of the 2017 America ’ s Cup . All I can say is , book your ticket and hotel NOW : - ) In my opinion the best time of year to visit Bermuda is between May and September . A time I like to call “ Boat Party Months .”
My favourite holiday is held on May 24th , Bermuda Day . A day for family , dancing and a parade , all happening in the City of Hamilton .
I love day parties held on the terrace of Inferno Lounge 2 . Waterside , overlooking Dockyard with a chance of watching the sunset as night falls . Just beautiful . Make sure you catch a ferry or the bus to Dockyard and the Town of St . George ’ s to see all they have to offer .
Fish sandwiches from Art Mel ’ s Spicy Dicey are 5 star delicious , so be sure to have your cab driver place your order and pop by to pick up , then head to a park to dig in . Preferably Victoria Park which is in the heart of Hamilton where you can take a walk to do a bit of shopping .
Make sure you get a chance to try some Bermuda Rum Swizzle . The best swizzle I ’ ve tasted was made by Shannon Simons , a local chef who has created a business of selling rum swizzle . I would recommend buying a few bottles to have in your hotel room .
If you ’ re visiting between June 16th-19th I suggest you take part in the Bermuda Carnival which takes place during Bermuda Heroes Weekend . A weekend full of events you don ’ t want to miss .
There ’ s the Cupmatch Holiday on August 3rd and 4th 2017 celebrating Emancipation in Bermuda with cricket , parties and events all happening at the east end of the island . Expect a full day at the game , the beach or on the water . To a visitor I say go to the beach another day and be sure to attend Cupmatch on both days , you ’ ll love it .

Bermuda is filled with greetings . A good morning here , a good afternoon there . You ’ ll feel right at home during your visit .
