St. Helier

St Helier is the capital of Jersey and the cultural hub of the island. You’ll find an opera house, museums, arts centres and the Jersey Battle of Flowers festival taking place among centuries-old structures like Elizabeth Castle and the Parish Church of St Helier. The Central Market on Beresford Street is worth checking out, too.

It’s not all history in St Helier, though. Head to King Street and you’ll see a bustling atmosphere as shoppers flit between modern stores housed in buildings boasting classical architecture. Head down to the marina and you’ll find it packed with yachts. If you want to get away from the bustle for a bit, there are even a couple of good beaches nearby.
