Although Bermuda is less than 21 square miles in size, the island offers you plenty of choices. To help you narrow them down, the editors of The Bermuda Insider have developed a list of favorites. See the list below for our top picks in a variety of categories -- and enjoy the best Bermuda has to offer.

1. Favorite Restaurants. We love the fabulous views from the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Tea Room, but they are just one reason to visit this classic English tearoom. The afternoon teas, complete with Devonshire cream and homemade scones, are another. We also love the award-winning Waterlot Inn, which is housed in an historic building on the waterfront, and serves traditional Bermudian fare (don't miss the Bermuda fish chowder) with French and Mediterranean influences. It is also a great place for a steak! The wine list is superb, especially the selection of aged ports, which can be enjoyed after dinner in the small but pleasant bar area.
2. Favorite Attraction. The Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo can be thought of as three attractions in one: the Aquarium displays over 200 species of fishes and invertebrates, and its 140,000-gallon North Rock Exhibit was the first living coral exhibit of this scale in the world; with more than 300 birds, reptiles and mammals on display from oceanic islands, the Zoo is committed to the exhibition, breeding and reintroduction of threatened and endangered species; and the most recent addition, the Natural History Museum, which bridges the two, focuses on the Island's geology, native biodiversity and habitats.
3. Classic Bermuda. We love the old-world ambiance of the Town of St. George, with its plethora of historical attractions and its tiny, picturesque streets. We recommend that you set aside a least half a day to soak up its charm at a leisurely pace.
4. Favorite Drinks. Given rum's role in Bermuda's history (even today, legendary rum-maker Gosling's is the largest exporter of a Bermuda-made product), it is not surprising that Bermuda's two most well-loved drinks contain rum. A Dark 'n' Stormy is made with Gosling's Black Seal Rum and ginger beer and is traditionally served in a highball glass with a wedge of lime. A Rum Swizzle typically contains Gosling's Black Seal Rum and its Gold Rum, plus pineapple juice, orange juice, grenadine and a dash of Angostura Bitters, all shaken together until frothy, and then served in a martini glass.
5. Favorite Souvenir. Take the beautiful views of Bermuda home with you in one of Carole Holding's watercolours. Available online and at three Bermuda shops, these paintings and lithographs are filled with the light and colors of Bermuda.
6. Favorite Activity. Even if sightseeing or shopping are what drew you to Bermuda, make sure you make time to soak in the sun at the beach. And while you're there, take time to admire Bermuda's famous pink sand.
7. Favorite Holiday. May is Heritage Month in Bermuda, a 31-day celebration of Bermuda's history and culture, featuring a variety of arts & craft demonstrations, tours, lectures, films, food, music and more. The month's highlight is Bermuda Day -- a public holiday, originally to celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday, now the official start of the Bermudian swim and Dinghy racing season. These days, it also includes a road race and parade.
8. Favorite Outfit. There is no question that Bermuda is a preppy stomping ground. Lilly Pulitzer prints, sweater sets with pearls for women, and brightly coloured pants for men are all welcome here. And then, of course, there are Bermuda shorts. These almost-knee-length walking shorts are considered Bermuda national dress and even today, many businessmen wear Bermuda shorts with their jackets and ties -- so why not go with the flow and wear a pair yourself?
9. Favorite Nickname. "Bermuda Onions" are what Bermudian people call themselves. The name comes from a special type of big juicy onion - originally from Britain - that was exported in quantity every year to the USA and Canada from the early 1600s to the late 1800s.
10. Time Your Travel. Our list of travel tips wouldn't be complete without reminding you that like many other resort locations, Bermuda has a "high season" that extends from May to October. Going at other times may mean you'll face fewer crowds, but note that it may also mean that some restaurants and other venues won't be open.
