St. Peter Port is the capital of Guernsey in the Channel Islands.

4.9/5 ⭐Google 600+ Reviews | A+ Better Business Bureau

Overview
St. Peter Port is the charming capital of Guernsey, the second largest of the Channel Islands, nestled between England and France. This picturesque town is renowned for its steep, cobbled streets, beautiful Georgian and Regency architecture, and a bustling waterfront that blends its rich maritime heritage with modern island life. Guernsey's unique identity, influenced by its Norman history, British Crown Dependency status, and German Occupation during WWII, makes St. Peter Port a fascinating and distinctive cruise stop.
For cruise passengers, St. Peter Port offers a captivating blend of historical exploration, duty-free shopping, and easy access to the island's stunning natural beauty. From exploring ancient castles and wartime tunnels to discovering subtropical gardens and enjoying local cuisine, a visit to St. Peter Port provides a memorable and engaging experience, reflecting its unique blend of English charm and French sophistication.
Dominating the harbor, Castle Cornet is an iconic 800-year-old fortress. Walk across the causeway (built in the 19th century) to explore its battlements, four period gardens, and five museums, including the Story of Castle Cornet and the Maritime Museum. Don't miss the noon-day gun firing ceremony (check schedule).
Tip: Allow ample time to explore; it's a significant historical site with lots to see. The views from the castle across the harbor and to the neighboring islands of Herm and Sark are spectacular.
Stroll through the charming cobbled streets of St. Peter Port. Discover hidden alleyways, browse independent boutiques, gift shops, and art galleries along High Street and Market Square. The town offers a delightful mix of shopping and quaint historical ambiance.
Tip: Look for the "Oldest Post Box in the British Isles" on Union Street and enjoy the colorful window boxes decorating many buildings.
Literature enthusiasts should not miss Hauteville House, the former residence of French writer Victor Hugo during his 15 years of exile on Guernsey. This eccentric house, designed and decorated by Hugo himself, offers a fascinating insight into his life and where he wrote many masterpieces, including Les Misérables.
Tip: Check opening hours and consider booking a guided tour in advance, as access can be by guided tour only. It's a short walk uphill from the town center.
Ascend to the beautifully restored Candie Gardens, a Victorian-era public garden offering panoramic views over St. Peter Port harbor and the sister islands. Within the gardens, you'll find the Guernsey Museum and Art Gallery, charting the island's history from Neolithic times to the German Occupation.
Tip: The gardens are free to enter and provide a peaceful escape with stunning photo opportunities. There's also a café in the gardens.
Guernsey was the only British territory occupied by German forces during WWII, a significant part of its modern history. Explore this period at the German Occupation Museum (a bit further afield, might require a taxi or tour) or the La Vallette Underground Military Museum (closer to town, housed in tunnels).
Tip: These museums offer a powerful and sobering insight into the islanders' experiences during the five-year occupation.
Indulge in Guernsey's culinary delights. Famous for its dairy products (try the rich Guernsey cream and ice cream, or a slice of Guernsey Gâche – a fruit loaf), and abundant fresh seafood (crab, lobster, scallops). Many waterfront eateries offer scenic dining. Also, from the port, enjoy views of the nearby islands of Herm and Sark, easily reachable by local ferry if you have more time.
Tip: Look for local pubs for a traditional experience or a café for cream tea. Consider a short boat trip for "island hopping" if your schedule permits.
