Why you should go: The UNESCO World Heritage Site of St. George’s invites visitors to wander cobbled streets lined with colonial forts, quaint churches, and iconic whitewashed roofs. Witness the Peppercorn Ceremony, a centuries-old tradition featuring the governor, a velvet pillow, and a single peppercorn as lease payment. Follow a guide along the African Diaspora Heritage Trail, stopping at sites like Tucker House and Joseph Hayne Rainey’s barbershop. Finally, visit the hauntingly beautiful Unfinished Church, relax on the shores of Tobacco Bay, and craft a personalized fragrance at Lili Bermuda Perfumery—an aromatic journey into history.
