Bermuda Island Guide
Bermuda's appeal lies in its special blend of colonial history and African heritage. When you start thinking about traveling to Bermuda, keep in mind that the weather is relatively cool in winter and spring. As a result, Bermuda's peak travel season (when prices and demand are highest) is May through August, the opposite of the Caribbean (which Bermuda is not technically part of).
