I highly recommend visiting this picturesque destination . Jersey may be small but the island is beautiful. There is something for everyone, young or old . Jersey Zoo is just an outstanding reserve ! A must visit ! Pictures above👆 There are so many historical sights from bunkers from the occupation or castles that were the islands protection.There is a never ending supply of lovely sandy beaches and bays, caves to discover and all the water sports you can imagine ! 🌊🏄‍♂️ . The local people are very helpful and friendly and it is easy to get around the island by the local bus service. I would advise to visit in the summer months - June to October ☀️ #jersey #Jersey zoo #beachlife

You don't need to travel halfway around the world to have an amazing adventure. Here are three more destinations you can easily explore over a long weekend. 🇯🇪 Jersey – Around 1 Hour Closer to France than England, Jersey feels like a completely different world. During a weekend you can: 🏖️ Discover beautiful sandy beaches. 🚶 Walk dramatic coastal paths. 🦀 Enjoy incredibly fresh seafood. 🏰 Visit Mont Orgueil Castle. 🌅 Watch spectacular sunsets over St Ouen's Bay. It has a relaxed island atmosphere that's perfect for switching off. 🇬🇬 Guernsey – Around 1 Hour Guernsey is another Channel Island that's often overlooked. Spend a weekend: 🚲 Cycling quiet country lanes. 🌊 Exploring hidden coves. 🍰 Enjoying afternoon tea in picturesque villages. 🏰 Visiting Castle Cornet. 🚶 Walking along scenic cliff-top trails. It's peaceful, friendly and ideal if you're looking for a slower pace. 🇮🇪 Ireland – Around 1 Hour Sometimes the best weekend breaks are the closest to home. Whether you choose Dublin or venture further afield, Ireland offers fantastic food, lively pubs and breathtaking scenery. Don't miss: 🍺 Dublin's famous Temple Bar district. 📚 Trinity College and the Book of Kells. 🌊 The Cliffs of Moher. 🏰 Kilkenny Castle. 🎶 Live traditional Irish music in a local pub. Travel doesn't have to be complicated One of the biggest myths about travel is that every trip has to be a major holiday. Sometimes all you need is a carry-on bag, a passport and a free weekend. You might be surprised just how much you can experience in 48–72 hours. #travel2026#travel#staycation#thingstodo#myitinerary#citydaytours

#travelwithfootball There is a particular magic to walking into The English Pub (Austurstræti 12) wearing your national team jersey, cold wind off the bay tugging at your collar, and seeing fifty other fans already in theirs—Germans in white, Argentinians in sky blue and white, Brazilians in yellow, and Icelanders in that iconic navy-blue Víkingur strip doing the thunderclap. The English Pub is Reykjavík's de facto sports cathedral. Multiple HD screens including a main projector, English-language commentary toggle on request, heated patio facing Austurvöllur Square (Alþingi Parliament building on the opposite side), and a halftime "spin-the-wheel" that can win you a meter-long beer tray if luck is on your side. For World Cup group games arrive 60–90 minutes early; for knockouts, two hours. Happy Hour is 16:00–19:00—Gull lager and Kaldi IPA on discount. The American Bar across the street is owned by the same group and works as overflow if The English Pub is at capacity. Getting there: fly into Keflavík, take the Flybus to BSÍ terminal or direct to your hotel, then it's a flat walk through Bankastræti to Austurvöllur. If you're staying farther out (like in the Vesturbær neighborhood), Strætó bus lines 1/3/6 drop you at Lækjartorg—two minutes' walk. Stay at CenterHotel Plaza (directly on the square), Sand Hotel (one block over), or HI Loft Hostel (above the square, literally above a bar—you'll hear the goals). All are 20+ to drink; bring photo ID. Cards only—no cash accepted anywhere. My personal take: I landed in Reykjavík on a Tuesday, kicked off my boots, pulled my faded national shirt from the suitcase, and headed straight to The English Pub for an 18:00 group-stage kickoff. Got the last mezzanine sofa at 16:45, ordered fish and chips and a Kaldi, and settled in. When our striker opened the scoring, the entire mezzanine—locals I'd never met—turned and high-fived me like a long-lost cousin. An Icelander next to me bought a round of Brennivín shots "because you wore the colors." That's the thing: jerseys are a universal passport here. You're not an outsider if you show you care about the beautiful game. At full time we spilled out onto Austurvöllur, sat on the steps of the Parliament building drinking under the soft golden light of the Icelandic summer night, debating tactics with a guy who'd just cycled in from Akureyri. Why do I send everyone here? Because The English Pub isn't trying to be trendy—it's trying to be a place where football matters. The staff know which feed is which, the sound is crisp, the crowd is knowledgeable, and the patio lets you breathe. Wearing your jersey is the icebreaker that turns a pub visit into a cross-cultural football exchange. This is what #travelwithfootball means—watching the world's game in the world's most unexpected capital, shoulder to shoulder with people who love it as much as you do.

#travelwithfootball Skip the corporate chains. Slide into the cobbled Rue Saint-André des Arts in the Latin Quarter—right behind Place Saint-Michel—where old-school Irish pubs like Corcoran's and dimly lit bistros tune in for every kickoff. I ducked into a wood-paneled bar with creaky floors and a TV above the zinc counter. Around me: Sorbonne students, expats, and old-timers arguing offside rules in three languages over pints of Kronenbourg and plates of charcuterie. The Latin Quarter hum—jazz drifting from the street, the clink of glasses—mixes perfectly with the roar when a goal lands. On big nights, nearby places spill onto the terrace, turning the whole medieval lane into a mini fan zone. Metro Saint-Michel is a 2-min walk. Arrive 30 mins early for knockout rounds. No dress code, just bring your jersey and a thirst for atmosphere. Paris isn't just for philosophers—it's for fans who know where the beautiful game lives. 🇫🇷📺

La Roque Tower is one of 23 Conwy Towers built on the British Crown Dependency of Jersey between 1778 and 1801. The tower is of the standard Conway pattern, being rounded and tapered, and built of regularly squared and well-worked granite blocks, with some brick dressing. The upper floors are dotted with musket holes, and the first floor has a trimmed granite doorway. The parapet has four mechanical levels and a roof deck with masonry parapet. La Rocco Tower was the 23rd and final tower built to Conway's design. It was the largest and best armed of the series of coastal defense towers. La Rocco Tower It was originally named Gordon Tower, after the then Governor, Lieutenant General Andrew Gordon, but this was not popular with islanders. The military role of La Rocco Tower declined in the second half of the 19th century, and in 1923 the United States bought the site from the Crown for £100 as a shipping landmark with the obligation to keep it in good condition. During World War II, the Germans fortified the Bay of Saint-Ouen, believing it to be the most likely beach for an Allied landing. They converted La Rocco Tower and laid mines around it. Some of these were accidentally detonated in 1943, causing significant damage, especially to the southern part of the gun platform, which was severely damaged by the intrusion of seawater. It was not until April to September 1972 that the tower was restored at a cost of approximately 20,000 pounds, and it now appears as it does in the photo. #OverseasTravel #IslandHoliday #Seaview #EuropeTravel #BritishAttractions #BritishTravel #WWIIRelics #Bay #Jersey #laroccotower #jersey

Jersey is a British Crown dependency that was occupied by Germany during World War II from 1940 to 1945. In 1943, the German Navy built a battery observation post named "Marine Peilstand und Meßstellung 3" in the northwest corner of the Jersey Strait (Figures 3-6). Bunker MP3 is designed to be part of a system of nine bunkers. These will be built and set up all around the island to watch for enemy ships. Using readings from just two of the observation posts, bearings and distances could be accurately and quickly calculated and then passed on to the various batteries on the island for strikes. Of the nine planned bunkers, only MP1, MP2, and MP3 were ultimately built. But in fact I only found MP2 (right side of Figure 2) and MP3 on the island. MP3 has 2m thick walls, 7 floors, and target identification is done through an opening in the front of the bunker. To help in bad weather or at night, a Seetakt radar is mounted on top. #OverseasTravel #IslandHoliday #EuropeTravel #UK #UKAttractions #BestPlacesInUK #WWIIRelics #Battery #Jersey

The British Crown Dependency of St Aubin's Bay stretches for about 5 kilometres along the southern part of the island from St Helier in the east to St Aubin's Bay in the west. Gulf Owned A wide sandy beach, one of the closest to St Helier, it is often busy with sunbathers, especially at the eastern end around the seawater swimming pool. Jersey has the third highest tides in the world. At low tide, the island nearly doubles in size, and during the highest tide of the year, the tidal range reaches an astonishing 12 meters. Although the tidal range is only ranked third, the scenery after low tide is much more beautiful than the Bay of Fundy in Canada, which ranks first. Tidal currents not only create an ever-changing backdrop, as Jersey transforms from a turquoise bay to a rocky 'moon' landscape at low tide, they also create low-water habitats for rare marine life such as wild abalone, which is considered a delicacy in many countries, with Jersey being the farthest northerly place where abalone can be found. This set of photos were all taken in St. Aubin Bay. The last photo was taken in the same location, and the shooting times were 10:16 and 18:38 respectively. #OverseasTravel #EuropeTravel #EuropeTourism #UKTravel #UKAttractions #BestPlacesInUK #IslandHoliday #IslandTour #IslandClothing #Tide
