Bermuda
Welcome to Travel Guide 2 Bermuda, the site about travel, tourism and vacations in Bermuda.
Bermuda (known officially as "The Bermuda Islands" or "The Somers Isles"), is an archipelago of around 138 islands in the North Atlantic, located about 640 miles (1,030 kilometers) Southeast of the coast of North Carolina in the United States. The islands cover a total area of 20.6 square miles (53.3 km2). Politically, Bermuda is a British Overseas Territory, and is in fact both the oldest and most populous of the remaining British Overseas Territories.
As of 2006, Bermuda had an estimated population of 65,773. This includes a substantial number of ex-patriot non-Bermudans from the UK, the USA, the Canada and other countries. There are only two municipalities on the islands - Hamilton (city) and St George's (town) - but, in general, the islands are relatively densely populated.
Bermuda has a very successful economy, with the highest GDP per capita in the world as of 2005. The islands economy is principally based around financial services (Bermuda is considered a premier offshore business jurisdiction), with tourism as an important secondary industry. Around 500,000 tourists visit the islands each year, mostly from the United States.
Bermuda's currency is the Bermuda Dollar (BMD) which is pegged to the US Dollar. Within the islands, Bermudan and US currency are used interchangeably, however should you wish to exchange Bermuda Dollars for US Dollars at a bank, you will be charged for this service.
