A small island.
Room to explore.
The government describes an island about 53 km long and 22 km wide at its broadest point, with a land area of 572 km². Distances alone do not tell you how much to fit into a day: rail connections, coastal paths and time at each stop matter.

The year is part of the fact.
These pages are reviewed snapshots. A 2021 census count is different from an experimental annual population estimate; passenger movements are different from visitors; a climate average is different from tomorrow’s forecast.
We keep the reference period beside the figure and link the original publication. New editions can revise earlier estimates. Use the source links for newer releases, and our planning guides to turn the context into a workable trip.
Sources & definitions.
Each figure keeps its reference period. A review date records when we checked the source, not when the underlying data was collected.
