Many of the shops in Bermuda are quaint, the service highly personalized and the ambience sophisticated. The best savings are on items imported from Great Britain and Europe. Most of the larger shops are located in the City of Hamilton and have branches in St. George's, Somerset, Royal Naval Dockyard and many of the major hotels. Specialty shops are found throughout the Island. And, there's 'Duty Free Shopping', too. Ask our Bermuda Specialist to tell you about special shopping opportunities to enhance your visit! UNIQUE
GOODS IMPORTED FROM BRITAIN With rows of boutiques in Hamilton and St. George and unique stores at Royal Naval Dockyard on the island's West End, Bermuda is a paradise for shoppers. Though prices of some goods can be high, others are quite reasonable, perhaps less expensive than you'd find at home. Best buys are products imported from Britain, since Bermuda has agreements with British wholesalers and manufacturers who provide unique goods that otherwise aren't exported. BRITISH
& IRISH TEXTILES AND ICELANDIC WOOLENS Some of the best buys on the island are British and Irish textiles, which may be priced at less than half of what they cost Stateside. Fine Icelandic woolens and Irish wool sweaters, in fact, frequently are reduced by 50 percent. LOCALLY-MADE
POTTERY WITH WILDLIFE AND NAUTICAL THEMES Colorful, local resort wear also makes a good gift to take home. And several stores on-island specialize in locally-made pottery which may be decorated with depictions of native wildlife or nautical themes. THE
BERMUDA LONG-TAIL BIRD IN GOLD And, of course, you have to, at least, try on a pair of Bermuda shorts. A good place to buy them is at one of the island's Trimingham department stores. Also, a very special remembrance of Bermuda, is the Bermuda Long-Tailed Bird in gold, which you might purchase at Trimingham's or one of the jewelry shops on the Island. CRAFTS
CENTER AT RESTORED ROYAL NAVAL DOCKYARD Either head for stores along Front Street in Hamilton or opt for a trip to the West End, where the restored Royal Naval Dockyard, which houses a local crafts center or the scores of stores at Clocktower Centre Shopping Mall. |
