Fodor's Expert Review Front Street

Running along the harbor, Hamilton's main thoroughfare bustles with small cars, motor scooters, bicycles, buses, and sometimes hordes of cruise-ship passengers. The prime attractions here are the high-class low-rise shops that line the street, but be sure not to overlook small offshoots and alleyways like Chancery Lane, Old Cellar Lane, and the Walkers Arcade, where you'll stumble upon hidden-away boutiques. If visiting between May and August, on Wednesday evenings Front Street is closed to vehicular traffic to make way for the popular Harbour Nights, which features entertainment, food, and locally made products.
