Guernsey tourist guide - hotels and services

Boasting a pleasantly warm climate, plenty of history, a lively nightlife and tax-free shopping, Guernsey is, after Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands and is actually situated closer to France than Britain's shores. It measures about 10 miles long by five miles wide and has an outstanding road network for its size. The beaches are its major draw during high season, while there are a number of interesting historic villages and towns which have a rich past.

St Peter Port, away from the beaches, is the capital city attracting the majority of the tourists, with outstanding shops and an exciting nightlife on offer. Several stately homes and museums can be found in St Peter Port, such as the Hauteville House, of Victor Hugo fame and the renowned Guernsey Museum and Art Gallery. The very helpful tourist information centre will be happy to provide you with all the information about Guernsey's fascinating attractions.

More interesting attractions on the island feature the popular bunkers of the Second World War, Neolithic burial mounds, and medieval turret castles. Additionally, the Sausmarez Manor, dating from the 12th century, boasts attractive gardens and a delightful park.

In St Peter Port plenty of shops offer tax-free shopping, while those who love seafood will find an outstanding number of restaurants serving delicious lobster and scallops and crab. The city centre has a theatre as well and trendy café's and traditional pubs.

Guernsey is a tiny island and it measures only about 50 square miles, making it easy to get around the island by car the easiest way. The majority of the travellers visit the island in the summer season when the climate is very pleasant and the plenty of golden beaches can be enjoyed at the fullest. Besides the many coves and bays, Guernsey is also famous for its gardens and impressive stately homes.
