Travel Safety in Bermuda
Overview
Bermuda is a British Overseas Territory and is considered to be generally safe.
The most common form of crime in the country is petty in nature (such as bag-snatching and theft of unattended baggage and belongings) and mainly occurs in public places, particularly in Hamilton and St. George. Violent crime does occur but rarely affects tourist areas and is usually gang-related.
Demonstrations occur occasionally and are usually peaceful in nature. Currently, terrorism is not a major concern. There are also no major concerns of kidnapping or conflict on the islands.
Medical facilities in Bermuda are generally limited.
