Misc

Most entities in Bermuda have air-conditioning, whether it be our hotels, shops or buses, so during the summer months you can ‘cool down’ in most indoor locations.

If you are planning on renting a scooter, you may wish to bring a coat, as riding a scooter can get quite chilly at night, especially during the winter months.
