Museum Britannia House

This maritime museum pays homage to the cultural history of the Falklands.

Reviewed By Tupelo010835 - Denton, United States

Wish we had more time to spend here because this is a really captivating museum. Loads or artifacts both inside and out. Much history to be learned here. Next time we'll make more time.

Christ Church Cathedral

Reviewed By Amjar1 - Lakeville, United States

According to the Port Stanley Tourist Board, Christ Church is the most southerly Anglican cathedral in the world, and was consecrated in 1892 by the first Bishop of the Falkland Islands, Waite Hockin Stirling. This historic building features a cathedral tower with a ring of five bells, 19th and 20th-century stained glass windows and a two manual pipe organ built in Ireland. In addition, there are also locally-stitched needlepoint hassocks with scenes relating to the church and life on the Islands along with a collection of historic memorabilia. When open, you can visit at no charge, though a donation towards the maintenance of the building is highly recommended.

Falkland Islands Museum

The national museum of the Falklands! Celebrating the cultural heritage of the Falkland Islands, this large and modern museum complex is the one Stanley attraction that you will not want to miss. With five themed galleries (social, maritime and natural history, the 1982 war, Gateway to Antarctica) and several small outbuildings which includes the Smithy & Gearshed, the complex also features a speciality coffee and chocolate shop. All less than 5 minutes easy walk from the Jetty Visitors Centre/landing stage.

Reviewed By mandine_mandine - Paris, France

The Falklands tourist information office told us that one hour was enough to visit the museum but we could have spent a few hours. Lots of interesting stuffs about the history of the Falkland Islands: discovery and colonisation by the different European countries, whale hunting and natural history, current removing of the war mines and other anecdotes about the life style on the islands through the ages. A must see for people lucky enough to stay a few days on the islands.

Studio 52

My contemporary gallery, is located right in the heart of Stanley in the Falkland Islands. I love using my design and photographic skills to create the many different products you’ll find in the Studio, a great selection of locally created and hand made items for all to enjoy. ​ Hopefully you can visit the Studio in person but if not you can have a look through my website and get in touch if there is something you're interested in. Hopefully there is a little something you’ll enjoy!

St. Mary s Catholic Church

Brief visit whilst on cruise visit. A peaceful place to say the Daily Office whilst reflecting on how Islanders suffered during 1982 conflict
