What Are the Best Things to Do in St. George’s?

The best things to do in St. George’s combine history, architecture, beaches and spectacular coastal scenery. Founded in 1612, St. George’s is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is the oldest continuously occupied English town in the New World.

Start in historic King’s Square and explore the town’s narrow lanes and centuries-old architecture. Visit St. Peter’s Church, one of Bermuda’s most important historic landmarks, and walk up the hill to the atmospheric ruins of the Unfinished Church. St. Peter’s is in the heart of town, while the Unfinished Church is only about a five-minute walk away.

Beyond the town centre, visitors can explore Bermuda’s military history at Fort St. Catherine, enjoy the coastline around Gates Fort and Alexandra Battery, or spend a few hours snorkeling and relaxing at Tobacco Bay and St. Catherine’s Beach. Or, allow time simply to wander: some of St. George’s most interesting historic buildings, gardens, alleys and harbour views are discovered on foot.
