As Guernsey's capital, the town of St Peter Port plays host to many celebrations and festivals throughout the year. It is also the site of museums, libraries, and tourist attractions. Guernsey's restaurants are second to none, many showing off the awards to prove it. This page shows a few of the items of interest.

The tidal bathing pools at the Villiette are on the opposite side of Havelet Bay to Castle Cornet. Although titled the "Ladies" and "Men's" pools, these segregations are largely ignored these days. The kiosk here is famous for it's rolls and sandwiches. At lunch time it is very busy catering for town workers who walk along just for a good sandwich. |
| Immediately above the bathing pools is Fort George, now a rather expensive
housing area with fantastic views. Shown right is the battery guarding the South of St Peter Port. |

Every September Guernsey celebrates with the Battle of Britain air display. Many aircraft put on a show, including the famous Lancaster, Spitfire, and Hurricane flypast. Other historic planes include Vampires, Nimrods, Harrier jumpjets, Tornadoes, and of course, the Red Arrows. |
| Although certainly not an attraction, I thought I should mention Guernsey's hire
cars. A yellow "H" plate makes them easy to spot. Locals are divided as to whether "H" stands for hire or "Horror", as our traffic laws can take visitors by surprise. |

Candie Gardens can be found near the top of St Julian's Avenue, in Candie Road. On the left of this picture is a statue of Victor Hugo, author of les Miserables, who was exiled to Guernsey from France. To the right is the old bandstand, now a cafe and part of Candie Museum. |
