Jersey is one hour away from the UK mainland and yet has a distinctly relaxed flavour! Close to France, yet proudly British we are proud of our links with Great Britain and Europe. One of the few places where you will still find a pound note, Jersey prints its own currency. All notes drawn on a UK bank are legal tender in Jersey, so whether you are from England, Scotland, Ireland or Wales you will not need to exchange any money when visiting.
Known for the fantastic restaurants and dining opportunities, Jersey people take their food very seriously. A fantastic destination for families, Jersey has a huge range of activities for all ages... and some of the cleanest beaches in Europe!
We are often asked by our visitors who have enjoyed aMaizin! Adventure Park for further recommendations. We have produced three pages: Kids activities in Jersey, Attractions in Jersey and Things to Do in Jersey.
We hope you enjoy the information and please let us know if there is something else you would like to see. Jersey Tourism website www.jersey.com also has a large amount of information.
