Jersey

Experience island charm by train and ferry

Discover Jersey – the largest of the British Channel Islands – where British charm meets French flair. Dramatic coastlines, golden beaches, rolling green hills and historic sites.

Jersey combines historical richness and rugged coastal charm – at the same time a small state with its own currency and identity. Ideal for a city break by train: via Paris and London, you first travel by train to the British mainland and then by ferry (approx. 3½–4 hours) to the island. Whether medieval castles, spectacular lighthouses or idyllic bays – Jersey offers exciting variety in a small space.
