St. Peter Port is the capital and main port of the Crown Dependency of Guernsey, located on the east coast of Guernsey in the English Channel. This picturesque harbour town of about 18,000 inhabitants is the political, economic and cultural center of Guernsey.
St. Peter Port dates back to Roman times and became an important trading port during the medieval period. The city retains much of its Victorian architecture and narrow cobbled streets, and Castle Cornet stands at the entrance to the harbor, guarding the old city for 800 years.
Today St. Peter Port is an internationally renowned offshore financial center with a thriving banking and fund management industry. It also maintains a consistently tranquil atmosphere, with waterfront restaurants, boutiques and the Elizabeth II Pier attracting large numbers of visitors. The city is also famous for its annual Guernsey Flower Festival, which showcases the unique charm of island culture.
