About
Hamilton
The British city of Hamilton was established in 1897 and today is a thriving hub for international business, local government, and tourism. The city of Hamilton was named for Sir Henry Hamilton, the governor at the time, and in 1815 took over as the official capital of Bermuda, which had previously been Saint Georges. Tourists love Hamilton for its colorful architecture, laid-back and welcoming locals, and, of course, the incredible weather year-round. This city is culturally vibrant and has many shops, museums, gardens, and parks to explore. For those who loves beaches, there are plenty in walking distance where locals and visitors enjoy watersports such as surfing, sailing, snorkeling, and more. For those interested in government, check out the Sessions House, home to Bermuda’s House of Assembly and Supreme Court, and even peek into a session of Parliament! Visitors should also visit the iconic Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity and climb the tower to get an awesome view of the city nestled on a picturesque harbor.
