The city center features the neo-Gothic Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity and the Sessions House, which houses the island's Parliament and Supreme Court. Front Street serves as the main hub, containing the iconic Birdcage traffic stand and the harbor's Flagpole. Cultural highlights include the Bermuda National Gallery within City Hall and the 19th-century Perot Post Office, while Victoria Park provides a central green space with a traditional Victorian bandstand.
