Detailed itinerary

City Hall and Art Center

The City of Hamilton is a staunch supporter of the Arts in Bermuda. When City Hall was built in the late 1950’s much of its space was dedicated to art galleries as well as a fully equipped performance theatre. Today, those spaces remain intact, each with its mission to offer a sanctuary that celebrates a multitude of artistic expressions.

The Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity

The Anglican Cathedral a classic Neo-Gothic building seemingly plucked from some European city and set down in the middle of Bermuda. Its soaring arches and elaborate stained-glass windows are as fine as any you will find abroad. The pulpit and lectern are replicas of those in St. Giles, Edinburgh, Scotland, and are considered outstanding examples of church sculpture.

Botanical Gardens Camden House, Masterworks Gallery, Gift Shop/Coffee Shop

Camden House was built in 1714. The architectural style of the time is prominently reflected in this Georgian property. The earliest records name Frances Jones as the owner, and he lived there until his death on September 12, 1796. Camden was then acquired by William Durham in 1810 but was sold again in 1823 to the Hon. Henry James Tucker, who became the Mayor of Hamilton from 1851-1870. Tucker began the successful production of arrowroot for export in a factory at the back of the main house.

The Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art is a vibrant energy center that celebrates Bermuda’s culture and intrinsic beauty, uniting the community and transforming lives through art and education.
