Product Description
Product Description
A brand new addition to the Berlitz Pocket Guide range; Jersey is packed with all the information you need to enjoy the island, in a genuinely pocketable format. Places to go and unmissable attractions are explored within easy-to-use, colour-coded sections, so you can locate the information you need at a glance. The island's top attractions are identified to help you plan your trip priorities and ensure you see the very best castles, museums and array of pretty beaches. From the island capital of St Helier, to the Royal Bay of Grouville on the east coast, all places are covered in depth alongside full-colour photographs that provide a highly visual introduction to this beautiful island. Full colour fold-out maps are also included to provide instant orientation wherever you are. A concise history chapter and the handy cultural tips found throughout combine to give you a deeper understanding of the island's heritage, from ancient relics and harvesting seaweed to the German Occupation and postwar developments. There are also plenty of ideas for how to spend your leisure time, from surfing in St Ouen's Bay to walking the north coast, including fun activities to keep the children amused. The 'Eating Out' chapter recommends local specialities, provides an interesting feature on the infamous Jersey cow and also lists a range of restaurants to suit all budgets, including addresses, telephone numbers and websites. The comprehensive 'Travel Tips' section provides an A-Z summary of all other expert practical advice you will need, including reliable recommendations of hotels, information on climate, health, transport, currency, language and much more. Small in size but big on content, this guide will help you truly get to the heart of Jersey.

The book was received promptly and well packaged, I wanted a good quality informative book and as expected this book met my expectations completley. Its excellent value for money with a brief history, places to go, things to do, activities, travel tips and a small fold out map.

It is small enough to fit in a pocket, but is packed with information and colour photos. Lots of recommendations for places to eat or visit and useful tips on things like parking on the island.
The front and back covers include fold-out maps which are usable, even given the small size. The layout gives you a good flavour of the island and makes for an easy read. I looked at similar guides and this seems to be the most recent and up-to-date.
It starts with Top 10 attractions and a perfect day out - then goes on to chapters covering : History, Where to go, What to do, Eating out, Tips, Hotels and a useful Index.
I couldn't fault this and it is great value - recommended.

We bought this travel guide to Jersey before spending a few days there. It has clear, concise maps, plenty of information about what to do and some good restaurant recommendations. Also, it's a handy size to pop into your bag or pocket. Definitely recommended!
