The island of Guernsey, like Jersey, is located in the English Channel and is also a possession of Great Britain, while being a separate country. Guernsey is an offshore zone, so it is an attractive country for doing business. Local residents are engaged in crop production, animal husbandry, fishing, oyster farming or working for the state. There is a low crime rate here.
Cities
Saint Peter Port is the capital of a miniature country. The city is somewhat similar to Riga: narrow streets, coupled with medieval buildings, create a certain atmosphere. Saint Peter Port - despite its miniature size, it is very beautiful and well-groomed. The architecture suffered little from the German occupation, so there is something to see here.
