Best time to visit Guernsey

Guernsey has its good weather days, and not-so-good weather days, but either way you’re in for a real English Channel experience. The warmest time to visit would be between May and September. During this time the weather is great and there are lots of activities happening such as Battle of the Flowers. You can also fully appreciate the beauty of the 70 bird species at Bird Gardens in Guernsey. Winter falls between November and March, and though it can get a bit cold and wet, the island is ridiculously lush and beautiful that you may just forget about the cold. There are also affordable flights and accommodation to Guernsey available over the colder months, so you’ll be able to save while enjoying the sites of this gem of an island.

Visa & Customs

Health & Safety

Travelling and living in Guernsey is very safe, with only one or two things to be aware of. The island is quite small and there is little to no crime, but avoid the drunks after a bad football game, or try not to get into overly religious or political conversations with locals as Guernsey has been said to be a tad bit mono-cultural.

It is always important to have your vaccines up to date when you are travelling. When visiting Guernsey, it is recommended to get a vaccination for hepatitis A if you think you’ll be eating any exotic food. It is also a good idea to get a shot for hepatitis B, and then Rabies if you plan to spend some time doing adventurous activities too.
