VisitGuernsey App
Free to download, the VisitGuernsey App is filled with walking and swimming guides to help your guests explore our Islands.
Heritage
New for 2024, ahead of Liberation Day and the 80th anniversary of D-Day, we have launched five new history and heritage themed routes in the VisitGuernsey app.
These new routes are part of a two-year focus for VisitGuernsey on our WWII heritage, culminating in the 80th anniversary of Liberation Day next year. Themed around subjects such as invasion, occupation, and liberation, the five routes comprise three walking itineraries, a cycling itinerary, and a driving itinerary.
App users will be able to explore some of the most historically significant spots on the island, brought to life with video content from local residents recalling their war-time experiences. ‘Now and then’ images are also available in the app, showcasing the dramatic contrast between World War II and present day.
New information boards have been installed along each route, with QR codes linking to more content on the VisitGuernsey website so that users can be truly immersed in the site they are visiting. As per the existing walking routes within the app, local businesses have been added as waypoints along each of the routes.
The new routes will be promoted as part of ongoing History & Heritage themed press releases distributed to UK media, shared across VG’s social channels via a series of promotional videos and as part of the visiting journalists programme, which this year sees heritage-specific activity.
Walking
Walking routes include directions to starting points, estimated walking time and difficulty. The map interface helps navigate trails and find areas of interest giving the opportunity to learn more about our Islands. Audio guidance for the walks is also available.
Swimming
Our swimming guides on the app allow users to search all of our Islands to find their perfect swimming spot. Taking into account weather, tides, difficulty of swim and more, you can make informed decisions about the beaches and bays you want to visit on your trip to the Islands of Guernsey.
