Major city · United Kingdom
Llangefni
Skip as a base unless you have a car: one night, or a 2-hour stop for Oriel Ynys Môn and lunch, then sleep on the coast.
Llangefni is Anglesey's county town and sits in the middle of the island, about 7 miles from the coast in every direction. It is a working Welsh-speaking town with a market, a gallery and a few pubs rather than a resort. Almost everything visitors come to Anglesey for — beaches, coast path, South Stack — is a drive away, so Llangefni works as a cheap, central bed and a wet-day stop, not as a holiday in itself.

Rules in force · 8Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
- Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
- Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
- Britain and Ireland ↗Neither the UK nor Ireland is part of Schengen: days spent here do not count towards the 90/180-day Schengen limit, and a Schengen visa does not admit you to either country.
- Britain and Ireland ↗The island of Ireland runs on two currencies: euro in the Republic, pound sterling in Northern Ireland and Great Britain. Carry a card that pays in both without fees.
- Britain and Ireland ↗Both islands drive on the left. Speed limits are in miles per hour in the UK (including Northern Ireland) and in kilometres per hour in the Republic of Ireland.
- United Kingdom ↗Most visitors who do not need a UK visa now need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before travelling; this includes EU nationals. Irish citizens are exempt. Check the UK government site for your passport.
- United Kingdom ↗The UK is outside the EU and the Schengen area; a Schengen visa is not valid for the UK.
- United Kingdom ↗Driving is on the left; London has congestion and emissions charges for most vehicles, so do not drive in the city.

Getting around
The town itself is walkable in 15 minutes end to end. Everything else on Anglesey needs a car, a bike or a bus: the A55 is about 2 miles south, buses run to Bangor, Caernarfon and Holyhead, and the island's beaches are 15–25 minutes by car. Cycling on the lanes is good; the main roads are fast and narrow-shouldered.
