This land area is about 2.3 times the size of Manhattan. Guernsey is thus one of the smallest countries in Europe by area and ranked 229th worldwide. With 863 inhabitants per km², it is also one of the most densely populated countries.

Besides the main island, 15 other smaller islands belong to the country. Guernsey has no direct neighbours. The distance between New York City and the Capital Saint Peter Port is about 5,480 km (3,405 mi).
