Bermuda

Bermuda is famous for its turquoise waters and coral-pink sands, but getting around this 21-square-mile archipelago requires some strategic planning. Rental cars are not available for visitors, so you will rely on the iconic pink-and-blue public buses, ferries, or electric "micro-cars" like the Twizy. A one-day transportation pass costs BMD $19 (approx. USD $19), covering both buses and the scenic ferry system. For those who prefer the freedom of two wheels, renting a scooter is a classic Bermudian experience, though the narrow, winding roads require confidence. To navigate these lanes without getting lost, ensure you have reliable data. Activating a Hello eSIM before you touch down at L.F. Wade International Airport means you can pull up maps immediately without hunting for local Wi-Fi or facing steep roaming fees. Whether you are heading to the bustling Front Street in Hamilton or the secluded Horseshoe Bay, having a digital map at your fingertips makes the journey much smoother.

Bermudian cuisine is a flavorful fusion of British, African, and Caribbean influences. You cannot leave without trying a Bermuda Fish Chowder, traditionally seasoned with black rum and sherry peppers. For a casual lunch, head to Art Mel’s Spicy Dicy for what many locals consider the world's best fried fish sandwich, served on sweet raisin bread. Dining out can be pricey, with a mid-range dinner for two often costing around BMD $120 (USD $120). This is where the budget tracking feature in the Hello app becomes invaluable; you can log your spending in BMD and see exactly how your vacation fund is holding up. If you are traveling with friends, the expense splitting tool is perfect for divvying up the bill after a round of Rum Swizzles at the historic Swizzle Inn. It saves the awkwardness of manual calculations at the table, letting you focus on the sunset views instead.

While the beaches are world-class, Bermuda’s history and geology are equally captivating. Spend a morning in the Town of St. George, a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with colonial architecture and cobblestone alleys. Afterward, head underground to the Crystal and Fantasy Caves, where stunning stalactites frame azure subterranean pools. Entry for both caves is roughly BMD $35 (USD $35) per adult. To make the most of your limited time, use the trip planning feature in the Hello app to organize your itinerary geographically. You might group a visit to the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse with a stop at the Railway Trail for a scenic hike. By mapping out your stops in advance, you avoid backtracking across the island. Don't forget to check the ferry schedule—taking the Sea Express from the Royal Naval Dockyard back to Hamilton is one of the most beautiful commutes you will ever experience.
