The visitor can expect to see savings on crystal, china, some jewelry, cashmere and lambswool that can range between 30 and 40 percent lower than typical prices in America.
Nightlife revolves mostly around restaurants, bars and some nightclubs.
Restaurants range from the small and cozy casual spots to the extravagantly elegant. Among the restaurant choices are Bermudian, French, Mexican, Italian, Indian, Continental, Thai, English and Irish pub-style cuisine. And almost every parade brings out the Gombeys and majorettes who dance and twirl and strut their stuff through Hamilton. Islanders are serious about work, and just as serious about their fun. Cultural pursuits are at the forefront, beginning early in the year with the Bermuda Festival.
