I liked the older stores - Coopers was interesting. The art work displayed down the alley was good. More

It was a nice walk down Front Street as the harbor is right across the street, nice view, alot of things going on , traffic and tourists all around, the stores were fun to window shop. Overall, very clean and people were very nice and not shouting across the street as in some cities. More

Front street is lovely indeed. Great shops, plenty of restaurants, right by the harbor. It is a shame however that the cruise ships do not come into Hamilton anymore. It was quite a sight to see these huge ships right across the street whilst having lunch on one of the second floor balconies. More

The liveliest street in Hamilton runs along the scenic harbor. It boasts several good restaurants and shops and all can be experienced over a short stay. More

What more needs to be said? Lots of restaurants, pubs, night clubs, etc. Front street tends to be more expensive. Go to Reid Street and Church Street for less expensive. Well, a little less expensive. More

Felt safe here. Took ferry from our hotel a few times, both to catch the main Ferry to Royal Naval Dockyards and to catch the bus to St. George. Also shopped and dined. Stop by Wadson's souviner shop for some good buys and conversation. More

Some of Hamilton's anchor businesses are located on Front St and are well worth a walk through. If you're hungry, there are multiple eateries directly on the street, a handful of which have 2nd floor outdoor tables that allow you to watch the "bustle" of Bermuda's capital. More

Front street is "the" street in Hamilton. Located on the water's edge, it is home to the major stores, restaurants and pubs as well as other commercial activities, such as banks, supermarkets, liquor stores, etc. and government, e.g. Cabinet Office.

okay, so I don't like shopping (or, as friends say, I DO like shopping, but only Thrift Store /second-hand). To be fair, I enjoy ON HOLIDAY to peruse what a tourist destination has to offer in the hope of finding something unique. Front Street, rated as a 'tourist destination', doesn't. When I've had out-of-town visitors who really really really like... More
