From the Market Buildings and the unique Commercial Arcade to medieval merchant houses and hidden harbour corners, you’ll uncover tales of ambitious entrepreneurs, pioneering shopkeepers, colourful characters and remarkable buildings that have stood witness to centuries of island life. Along the way, learn how trade, innovation and maritime connections transformed Guernsey’s capital into the thriving town we know today.
