The attractive, historic centre of Torshavn, with old grass-roofed buildings. The headquarters of the Faroese Government is based here.

Lovely picturesque compact area in the centre of Torshavn between the two harbours and steeped in history. This is the location of the Faroese Parliament and Government buildings, narrow cobbled streets, grass roofed cottages and a photographic opportunity at every turn. Well maintained and a living area with residents rather than a museum, an absolute must see in this tiny capital.

Really fun friendly bar with wide variety of local beers. Flights available. We also happened on trivia night which was fun although we underperformed. Definitely should visit!

I can’t be otherwise than highly amused about people who call it “ordinary” or who complain about the church being closed. Faroe Islands can have monumental churches like France or Italy and people should be aware they come to a minuscule place in the middle of nowhere (which became developed in the past 70 years maybe) and have less expectations of grandeour. And by the way, there is no wonder the churches started being closed, unfortunately the vandalism is not uncommon among tourists, especially in the past few years since their numbers grew. 15years ago this wasn’t an issue. Dómskirkjan is a beautiful 17th century church, beautifully handcrafted. Something worth visiting actually, if one has the patience to catch it open. PS. One was complaining about the National Museum being “in another city”, which sounds like people would be forced to travel distances to see it. Which is rather incorrect, as it is in Hoyvík, which is part of the Tórshavn municipality and it is adiacent to the main town.

Very well designed, the Nordic house promotes the nordic and faroese culture in an absolutely beautiful designed settign and scenery. The bar is very pleasant : our hot chocolate in front of the Torshavn skyline was the perfect way to end the day.

From Skansin you have a nice view onto business at the ferryport and Helsoy island (if weather permits). The climb up is easy and it is free of charge.

With only 21000 people this is a small town, but friendly and the free red buses are great and allows you to travel around with ease. Particularly liked no. 6 bus which took us to kirkabour- very atmospheric. Apparently good 2 hour walk, but the bus was welcome on the day we went as it was very wet and windy.
