Seek out some European flavor right here in the Americas
St. George
At a mere two-and-a-half hours by plane from the East Coast, Bermuda is a quick-and-easy way to get a solid dollop of British culture (with some very unBritish beach time) without having to cross the pond to get it. Head to Bermuda's original capital (for over 200 years), St. George, a UNESCO World Heritage Site marked by historic buildings and monuments, black cast-iron gas lamps, miniature gardens, and narrow, winding alleys. The main square, King's Square, fronts the harbor, with classic colonial structures including the stately town hall and the circa-1700 Globe Hotel, and of course, an English-style pub (the colorful White Horse Tavern). When not seeking out history and heritage, vistors can simply bask in the lush British vibe and tee-off at pink-sand-fronted beach resorts in peace and quiet – there are few sounds to distract other than the thwack of a cricket bat or the clink of tea cups in the distance. Keep in mind, though, that the high cost of things on this British-flavored island means little in the way of savings compared to a visit to Great Britain itself, except when it comes to your airfare.
