Front Street, Hamilton
Front Street
The harbourfront avenue of Hamilton, the capital. Colourful colonial-style buildings house shops, bars and restaurants, and the ferry terminal is right on the street.
Front Street runs along Hamilton Harbour, lined with old pink, yellow and blue buildings with arcaded verandahs. It is home to duty-free shops and stores selling Bermuda shorts and rum. At one intersection stands the famous 'Birdcage' traffic police booth. The ferry and bus terminals are both nearby, making this a good starting point for touring the whole island. On summer Wednesday evenings, the Harbour Nights street market and performances take place here. From here it's easy to detour to the Cathedral, City Hall and Par-la-Ville Park.
