Important Things To Know

Currency

The official currency of Bermuda is the Bermudian Dollar (BMD).

The US Dollar is widely accepted on the island of Bermuda. This is due to the Bermudian Dollar being of equal value to the US Dollar. However, some businesses will only receive the Bermudian Dollar as payment.

ATMs are available to get cash. All major credit cards are accepted at most tourist destinations. We recommend having cash on you for smaller purchases and paying for transportation.

National Languages

English is the official language of Bermuda. The large majority of the people on the island also speak it.

Bermuda is also home to those who speak other languages like Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, and French. Although these languages aren't official, many immigrants from Europe and Latin America who live in Bermuda use them regularly.

Bermuda's warm climate makes it perfect for beach trips and outdoor activities throughout the year.

During summer, temperatures are mild and quite comfortable, with an opportunity for cooling sea breezes. Summers in Bermuda are usually sunny and pleasant, with the occasional rain shower in the afternoon or evening.

The Bermudian winter months are only slightly cooler than the summer months. Their winter months also come with a higher chance of rainfall. The highest amount of rain is usually seen during October and November.
