a few examples.

The Bermuda countryside is quite pictureseque with traces
of the islands' British past mixing with its subtropical
vegetation. Somewhat more difficult to glimpse are the
mansions of the international rich and famous in
communities such as Tuckers Town.

OUT OF TOWN
The Bermuda Botanical Gardens was a favorite place
of former-Beatle John Lennon when he stayed in
Bermuda. Reportedly, Lennon was inspired to begin
writing new music when he was in Bermuda and the name
of his final album "Double Fantasy" is the name of a
flower that is native to Bermuda.
Bermuda boasts the smallest draw bridge in the world.
It only opens enough for the mast of a sailboat to pass
through.
