Bermuda Visitor Service Centers

 
 
Bermuda's Visitor Service Centers (VSC), earlier known as the Visitors Information Centers (VICs), can be of great help to tourists for seeking island information as well as to book tours and activities. 
 
You can get various handy materials from these Visitors Centers including free self guided tour brochures, free pocket maps of Bermuda (known as Handy Reference Maps), bus and ferry schedules, and many other useful information. Few of them sell transport passes and tokens for public buses and ferries. 
 
 
 
All VSCs in the island are now run directly by Bermuda Tourism Authority (the autonomous body appointed by Bermuda Tourism Department for all tourism related activities and promotions in the island). You can call up a center over phone, send an email or visit one to make a tourism related inquiry. 
 
Note: All Visitor Service Centers are closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day (December 26), New Year’s Day and Good Friday, but remain open on all other public holidays. 
 

Visitor Service Center at Dockyard

 
There used to be three Visitors Information Centers within the dockyard - one at the Heritage Wharf pier, one just outside Kings Wharf pier and one at the parking lot near the Ferry Dock at the Gazebo. 
 
In April 2018, the three has been consolidated into one and the new Visitor Service Center is located at the glass Gazebo near the ferry dock at Royal Naval Dockyard.

It is located at the arrival hall and across the luggage collection point. Earlier it used to be a manned counter.

Bre (February 2020) 
Our flight is scheduled to land at 2:37pm. on Saturday. We would like to purchase Bus/Ferry Passes that day. Do you think there is a possibility that we may be able to make it to the Visitor Center that day before they close in order to purchase our passes? Otherwise we won't be able to get them until Monday.

If you get through the immigration and customs quickly, you might be able to make it to Hamilton Visitors Center in time (closes 4pm). However, presently it is open all days of the week (10am to 4pm).

Raj, I find it strange that the Dockyard Visitor Information Center would accept cards but not the one in Hamilton. The building in Hamilton was within steps of the ferry dock in Hamilton where the Fairmont courtesy ferry dropped off my wife and I.. The captain was nice enough to wait while we ran to purchase two, seven day, passes. I offered my card and the clerk declined to accept it, saying it was cash only. Fortunately, we had just enough between us to make the purchase. I find it strange that the Dockyard Visitor Information Center would accept cards but not the one in Hamilton

Pat, the reason being they were all earlier run by 3rd party vendors, and are recently taken over by Bermuda Tourism Authority. Dockyard VIC was the first one taken over where they introduced cards, perhaps as a test case. The volume of transactions is also a determinant.
