Important Things To Know
Currency
The official currency of Bermuda is the Bermudian Dollar (BMD).
The US Dollar is widely accepted on the island of Bermuda. This is due to the Bermudian Dollar being of equal value to the US Dollar. However, some businesses will only receive the Bermudian Dollar as payment.
ATMs are available to get cash. All major credit cards are accepted at most tourist destinations. We recommend having cash on you for smaller purchases and paying for transportation.
