Jersey - What you need to know before you go - Go Guides

Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands, an archipelago in the English Channel. You can find plenty of things to see and do throughout your vacation, including historic landmarks ranging from ancient castles to WWII fortifications, with excellent museums in between.

Jersey isn't just about its colorful past, though. Its capital, St Helier, is a lively hub of activity, particularly around the modern marina. There are also some pristine beaches on the south and west shores, while charming country villages are located further inland.
