TÓRSHAVN
With only 20,000 inhabitants, Tórshavn is not just one
of the world’s smallest capitals, but also one of the most
charming ones. This dynamic city, with its creative, inno
va tive and highly educated population, is the political
and cultural hub of the Faroes, and, fond as they are of
their traditions and cultural legacy, local residents are also
keen to embrace emerging global trends. All this means
that Tórshavn offers a fascinating mix of Faroese cultural
history and all the amenities you would expect to find in a
modern 21 st century capital. The city is a melting pot of old
and new. To take in its contrasts, explore Tórshavn starting
from its oldest area down by the harbour, Tinganes, where
little grass-thatched houses stretch along narrow meandering
alleys then stroll up towards the mountainsides, you
will find that the residential neighbourhoods grow younger
and trendier as you ascend.
Set in beautiful surroundings embraced by mountains on
the one side and looking out onto the ocean on the other,
Tórshavn holds myriad exciting experiences and attractions
in store. The bright multi-coloured houses have led visiting
journalists to describe the city as one of dreamlike beauty,
which could have been taken straight out of a fairy tale.
Skansin, the Fort of Tórshavn, was built in 1550 to protect
the city from pirates. Today it is hard to imagine how the
little watch house and the delicate decorative canons could
have saved the city and its residents from pillaging. Fortunately,
there is no longer any need for guards patrolling
Skansin, nowadays you are more likely to encounter couples
on a romantic stroll and children running through the
grass or straddling across the canons, which are unlikely
to ever be heard again.
Tinganes is the old historic area of Tórshavn and, along
with Reyni, makes up Tórshavn of old. These neighbourhoods
once made up the hub of commerce in the Faroes
and, although the city has grown exponentially since then,
they remain central to life on the islands, as the superbly
preserved charming red and black grass-thatched buildings
are today home to the Faroese Government. And this
is more than just an administrative quarter, there is still life
in the narrow cobbled streets where sights and sounds testify
to the lives of the families, who still call this enchanting
outpost of history home.
Tórshavn’s landmarks include a number of statues, new
as old, each with their special story or significance, most
were created by local artists – a testament to the creativity
and fondness of art the Faroese people. A walk from the
harbour up towards the Nordic House will take you past
a number of them: head up from the harbour through the
town centre, past the old red theatre, then turn into the
park along Havnará (Tórshavn river), cross through the
local park to the National Gallery of the Faroe Island on
its other side and then head for the Nordic House. On this
walk, right behind the theatre you will first encounter the
statue of Hans Andrias Djurhuus, who was born and bred
in the city and in the early 20th century wrote songs and
stories that became central to the Faroese identity. When
you cross the road and turn onto the river path, you face a
fierce dragon rising out
of the stream,
it was
FAROE ISLANDS
S
created by
Tróndur
Patursson,
who is known
Tórshavn
for sculpting magic out
of glass. A bit further along you
will spot one of the multi-talented
Faroese author William Heinesen’s
iconic fantasy women. In the heart
of the park, you will find the memorial
to sailors lost at sea and when
you reach the National Gallery, you
will be welcomed by the bronze
works sculpted by Hans Pauli
Olsen that grace the Gallery’s
surrounding. The National Gallery
of the Faroe Island is home
to the world’s largest collection of
Faroese art, it is estimated to hold
a total of 2600 pieces, most of them
Faroese. A visit provides an excellent overview
of Faroese art history with works by artists such as
Mikines, Ruth Smith, Ingolvur av Reyni, William Heinesen,
as well as younger artists, including Hanni Bjartalíð and
Edvard Fuglö, to mention a few of the renowned artists
whose work is on display here.
Last, but not least, the Nordic House experience begins
before you even reach it, as you approach you will find that
it is reminiscent of an enchanted elven hill shrouded in
mystery. Although it hosts a wide variety of events yearround,
everything from concerts to plays, lectures and
exhibitions, it is an oasis of tranquillity and most certainly
a place worth visiting, be it for refreshments at the café, to
catch an exhibition or just to experience the architecture
and soak up some Nordic culture.
The Nordic House cafe is not the only place we would recommend
that you get a bite. Tórshavn offers a whole range
of dining experiences, there are a number of cosy cafes
serving light meals, particularly in the town centre, you
could dig into a succulent fish and seafood buffet at Hotel
Hafnia, or take lunch in style at the converted harbour
warehouse Öström, where you can also acquire arts and
crafts from local artisans, for contemporary fusion cooking
try Faroese sushi at Etika, or, for an extraordinary culinary
experience, head up to restaurant KOKS, which was
nomi nated as Restaurant of the Year by the Danish Dining
Guide (Den Danske Spiseguide) in 2013.
Tórshavn is at the heart of the Faroes and it is very well
connected. The capital is an excellent basis from which to
explore even the remotest corners of the archipelago. Travelling
is easy, so why not head out to the imposing islands
where the most amazing experiences and surprises await
you. All you have to do is seize the opportunity to explore
this modern society steeped in tradition and set in majestic
surroundings in the middle of the North Atlantic.

KIRKJUBÖUR
The village Kirkjuböur is the place in the Faroes where
you will find the most remarkable relics of the past. During
the Middle Ages the village was the cultural and religious
centre of the Faroes and part of the Catholic Church of
Norway. The seminary in Kirkjuböur was the first and only
one in the Faroes up until the reformation in 1538. King
Sverri of Norway grew up here, where he also attended the
seminary and was ordained.
Today there are around 80 inhabitants in Kirkjuböur,
which is a 15-minute drive from Tórshavn. Kirkjuböur
boasts three buildings, in particular, which no visitors
to the Faroes should miss: the Kirkjuböargarður estate
farmhouse that is currently home to the 17th generation in
the Patursson family. The oldest part of the house is the
formal reception room, Roykstovan, it dates back to the
11th century and currently functions both as a museum
and to welcome
guests on special
occasions. St. Olaf’s Church,
the local parish church (from
around 1200) is the only medieval
church, which is still in use in the
Faroes. Last but not least, there are
the imposing ruins of the Magnus
Cathedral, which was built around
the year 1300.

KVÍVÍK, VESTMANNA AND THE
VESTMANNA BIRD CLIFFS
On your way to Vestmanna you will pass both Leynar and
Kvívík, two beautiful villages with each their landmarks.
The village Leynar tapers off down a rolling mountainside
surrounding one of the most picture-perfect sand beaches
in the Faroes with a breath taking view of the islands Koltur
and Vágoy. This is a very popular spot among young
people and families with children.
Having passed Leynar, turn off the main road and down a
rather steep and narrow approach to reach Kvívík. Kvívík
boasts a Viking excavation site, indicating that it is one of
the oldest settlements in the Faroes. The site is near village
church, which was inaugurated in 1903 and its charm
makes it well worth a visit. The village is very pretty, so
take your time for a stroll along the river and explore it.
If you follow the road further North from Kvívík, you will
reach Vestmanna, one of the larger villages in the Faroes,
located on the northwest coast of Streymoy. Vestmanna is
the starting point for excursions to the awe-inspiring bird
cliffs and grottos known as Vestmannabjörgini. In high
season there are several daily departures for the bird cliffs,
this is a popular excursion, both among international and
local visitors. The boats sail along the mountainside and
up to the cliffs themselves, which face the Atlantic sea
head on, before heading through narrow straits and into
deep grottos formed by the crashing waves over millions
of years, to bring you close to the 600-metre-high vertical
wall of rock where thousands of seabirds breed. In these

can but feel at

a deeply rooted respect for the
forces of nature permeates Faroese
culture. Nature has its way of making
an impression and visitors to
Vest manna björgini often return to the
quayside in Vestmanna feeling both
uplifted and cleansed. You should
probably get a few pictures to
remember the bird cliffs by and
perhaps impress friends and
family back home.

After the sailing trip, we recommend
a visit to the SagaMuseum, which you
will find above Restaurant Fjörukrógvin.
This is the Vestmanna wax museum and getting to experience
such a vivid rendition of Faroese history is quite a
rare treat. Lights, sounds and even scents come together to
bring history to life. As you stroll through the landscapes
and among the wax figur ines, the history of the Faroe
Islands is whispered into your ears through the headset,
bringing you closer to history itself.

GÁSADALUR
>

VÁGAR
Vágar island is home to the biggest lakes in the Faroes
and Sörvágsvatn takes pride of place as the island’s main
road follows its shores. A walk along the lake out to the
Bössdalafossur waterfall is as lovely as it is leisurely
and richly rewarded – the view from this spot can be
either dramatic or tranquil, depending on the strength
of the currents and the power of the surf. The headland
Trælanípan, whose name – literally slave headland –
marks a sinister chapter in Faroese history, lies south of
the waterfall and is easily accessible on the walk around
the lake. Local lore has it that when slaves caught for
steeling sheep or similar offences were sentenced to
death, they were executed by a push over the promontory’s
edge and into the sea from Trælanípan’s summit.
The walk up Trælanípan is not strenuous and once you
reach the summit, try to lie down right out by the edge
and look straight across the ocean from the 146-metre
high promontory, time will come to a halt and the incredible
view of the islands will become a life-long memory.
The tiny village Gásadalur is now connected by a road
through a tunnel to the rest of the islands, but up until
fairly recently the inhabitants had to trek over the mountain
to the village
Böur before
they

could

Steep mountains in a stunning
landscape cradle the little hamlet
with its beautiful view over
Tindhólmur. Here life is lived at a
completely different pace and tranquillity
descends as you emerge
from the tunnel and enter this
idyllic setting. You can still
choose to hike to Gásadalur
over the mountain along the old
postal route, the view of the village
and ocean beyond when you
reach the summit you is remarkable.

MYKINES

MYKINES
Mykines island is the westernmost outpost of the Faroes.
This island is known for its teeming birdlife as it attracts
hundreds of thousands of migratory birds, which nest
here in summer. Mykines is also home to the only gannet
colony in the Faroes, which in itself makes it quite the attraction,
but the charming little puffins with their colourful
beaks are probably the island’s main lure, possibly because
they are usually happy to pose with their beaks full
of fish.
Sailing to Mykines takes just under one hour and is one
of the best ways to see Tindhólmur up close. Tindhólmur
is a steep cliff islet just off Vágoy. Once the boat reaches
Mykines itself, it sails along the bird cliffs on the south
side of the island, before dropping anchor in the village.
Mykines
You should absolutely take the
trip out to the islet Mykineshólmur
with its lighthouse, which
will bring you across the hanging
bridge connecting it to Mykines.
It is an easy hike, but, although the
hanging bridge is completely safe,
it can be a bit of a challenge for
those who fear heights as it
stretches across a 35-metre
deep gully with the heaving
Atlantic at the bottom.

GJÓGV
and other attractions in the area
Tjörnuvík
Saksun
Eiði
Gjógv
The most photographed village in the Faroes is probably
Gjógv, which is located in the northernmost part of
Eysturoy. In order to reach Gjógv you will have to cross
a high mountain ridge from where you will see a large
green valley with striking mountains on both sides. At
the very bottom of the valley, the colourful houses are
dotted around a beautiful crystal-clear river with a little
dam where children play all summer. But the village is
best known for its natural harbour. Gjógv means gorge in
Faroese and it is precisely in the great gorge cutting into
the landscape that the natural harbour is located. Take
all the steps down into the gorge, down to the harbour
and take in the immense power of nature in surroundsound.
The coastal area where the village is located is low,
however, eastwards, towards Múli, and onwards around
this headland to the southeastern coast, the coast rises
steeply from the sea. In the other direction, a deep valley
stretches down towards the village and almost parallel to
it, across the ridge, you will find another of nature’s gems,
Ambadalur valley. The hike to Ambadalur is one of the
most popular in the Faroes and is rewarded with the view
of the tallest freestanding cliff column in the Faroes called
Búgvin.
There are two roads to Gjógv and, to make the most of the
trip, you could take one on the way to the village and the
other when you depart. If you are out exploring in your
own vehicle, you should make the most of it and do the
whole itinerary with Funningur, Gjógv, Slættaratindur,
Risin and Kellingen, Tjörnuvík and Saksun. This would
be a full day-trip leaving you with lasting impressions of
magnificent landscapes and lots of fresh air.
Funningur is located in the fiord Funningsfjörður, it is
a charming little village that has a beautiful traditional
church built in 1847 with tarred walls, grass clad roof and
a bell tower. The village is at the bottom of a valley and the
homes here follow along the river streaming down from the
steep surrounding mountains. From Funningur you travel
up along the mountain road to Gjógv.
Having visited Funningur and Gjógv the mountains beckon,
because this is where you will find the highest mountains
in the archipelago. Slættaratindur with its 882 metres
is the tallest and next to it towers Gráfelli with its 857
metres as the second tallest mountain in the Faroes. If you
take the mountain road from Gjógv to Eiði, you will drive
through the pass between Slættaratindur and Gráfelli. You
will already be around 400 metres above sea level here, so
the hike all the way up to Slættaratindur’s summit is not
as strenuous as it might otherwise seem. This is probably
also why so many can boast that they have been to the
summit of the Faroes where the view is dazzling. When
the skies are clear, the view from Slættaratindur’s summit
spans all 18 islands making up the Faroes – or almost at
least.
Off Eysturoy’s northern coast you will spot the sea stacks
Risin and Kellingin. Legend has it that the giant, Risin,
FAROE ISLANDS
S
and the
hag, Kellingin,
were on
a mission from Iceland
to steal the Faroes
and haul them up to Iceland.
Giants and hags are, of course,
creatures of the night and they
knew that they had to hurry before
the sun came up. Unfortunately for
them, they were so consumed by
their task this one night that they
did not reach shelter before the
sun’s first rays hit team and
turned them to stone. Since
then, the pair has stood there
gazing longingly towards their
home country. Eiðiskoltur, the
mountain where they fastened their
rope, still bears the mark of their work,
as the cliff cracked when they tugged on the
rope in their futile efforts.
Risin and Kellingin can be admired from both Slættaratindur
and Tjörnuvík, but the best vantage point is from the
road between Slættaratindur and Eiði. A telescope is available
there for you to take a closer look at these mysterious
creatures.
Tjörnuvík in northern Streymoy is a pretty little village in
a cove girded by tall mountains; in fact, the mountains are
so tall that they block out all direct sunlight for a couple of
months every winter. Tjörnuvík has a large sandy beach
with a view over the sea stacks Risin and Kellingen off the
northernmost point of Eysturoy. Tjörnuvík is also known
for its musical heritage, here, villagers have remained
faithful to the old singing traditions and still sing hymns in
the old Kingo style.
Saksun is one of the archipelago’s great surprises. In
order to reach Saksun, you have to drive through a long
valley from the village Hvalvík. After driving past the
picturesque lake, Saksunarvatn, the village suddenly
emerges from the landscape. A deep ravine runs through
the village and you will have to stay on its right to reach
the smallest neighbourhood where there is a wonderful
little museum, Dúvugarður, which will allow you to catch
a rare glimpse of what life was like on a farm in the old
days. This is also where you will find the beautiful chalked
church with a grass roof clinging to the mountain rim. If,
on the other hand, you choose to turn left, the road will
take you through the village and from here you should
continue on foot into the immense stunning bay. There is
a sandy beach in the bay itself, and, when the tide is low,
you can walk out through the bay, along the beach, and
out towards the even larger sandy beach, which faces the
Atlantic unguarded. Do remember the tidal times, though,
as you will not be able to walk along the beach out through
the bay, or back again, when the tide is high.

KLAKSVÍK
Klaksvík is the second-largest city in the Faroes and
home to around a tenth of the country’s population.
Pyramid-like mountains encircle it with a wonderful
bay on both sides. Klaksvík is also one of the Faroes’
most important ports and trade is busy here. The local
residents are very engaged and they have a knack for
creating and hosting events that draw visitors from the
entire country – most take place in summer and many are
recurring annual events.
To reach Klaksvík you have do drive through the subsea
tunnel connecting to it from Leirvík. Tunnels always have
an aura of mystery, particularly when they run under the
sea, but the artist Tróndur Patursson was given opportunity
to leave his mark on this particular tunnel, which
makes it a pleasure to drive under the seabed where the
artist has used light and colours to breathe life into the
tunnel’s basalt walls.
In Klaksvík we particularly recommend visiting the
beautiful park area Úti í Gröv, which is on the outskirts
of the city. This picturesque oasis has been a source of
inspiration for many creative souls and it is a lovely place
to enjoy a moment of stillness in beautiful surroundings
– and perhaps a packed lunch. Should you have forgotten
to pack lunch, no need to worry, you will pass Jórun’s
bakery – Bakaríð Jórun – on your way into Klaksvík, the
establishment is known for its scrumptious bread, excellent
sandwiches and divine cakes.
Christianskirkjan was the first church in Scandinavia to
be built in the Old Norse style; it is a stirring monument
to Klaksvík and not to be missed. The church was built
in 1963 and was considered highly unusual, as it did not
feature a bell tower. A bell tower was since added, but it
is detached, it was placed next to the church building.
Allow not history to die, reads a line from a famous
Faroese song and at The Northern Museum, which was
founded in the late 1960s, history is certainly kept alive.
The museum showcases household utensils, tools, fishing
gear and other effects from daily life in the old days.
The building where
the museum is located

Klaksvík
Klaksvík is the central hub of
the Northern Isles: Kalsoy, Kunoy,
Borðoy, Viðoy, Svínoy and Fugloy.
The Northern Isles are characterised
by towering mountains
on the eastern side the islands
taper down towards a jagged
coastline, which cuts the slopes
off into low cliffs, while the northern
side is characterised by rugged
majestic cliff promontories. The two
smallest islands, Svínoy and Fugloy,
can only be reached by boat or helicopter, while bridges,
dams and tunnels interlink Kunoy, Borðoy and Viðoy, but
you will need to catch the ferry to get to Kalsoy. If you
have made it all the way to Klaksvík, you really owe it to
yourself to explore the region. Viðareiði is an excellent
place to start; it offers unparalleled panoramas of Borðoy,
Kunoy, Kalsoy and Fugloy, because the village boasts
open ocean views both eastward and westward. Straight
north of the village stands the world’s tallest promontory,
Enniberg, with its imposing 750 meters. Viðareiði also
boasts one of the most beautiful and well-known rectories
in the Faroes.
Kunoy is, on average, the highest island in the Faroes.
The village, also called Kunoy, is beautifully scattered
across the island’s western side and is graced with a
view of neighbouring, Kalsoy, which, when the evening
sun casts its shadows across the island almost looks like
a gigantic Toblerone bar.

SANDOY
Sandoy is the fifth largest island in the Faroes and, along
with Suðuroy, makes up the large southern island pair in
the archipelago. Sandoy is considered the flattest island,
with broad valleys and many little lakes, low rounded
mountains and sandy beaches. The gently rolling mountains
make it appear greener than the other islands with
their more rugged craggy mountains. The island’s western
coast is steeper and has bird cliffs.
There are historical gems to be discovered in Sandoy. Visit
Húsavík, a little village dating back to the Viking ages, it
has two old quarters with many traditional Faroese houses.
In the middle of the village you will find the 13 th century
vestiges of a great homestead, which once belonged to the
rich and powerful lady of Húsavík, Guðrun Sjúrðardóttir,
who, legend has it, was a rather
ruthless mistress and businesswoman.
Near the ruins stands the
protected home of Jóannes á Breyt, Sandur
which is 130 years old and now
used as the local museum.
The village Sandur has a lovely
art museum with a fine collection
of modern Faroese art. A

is an absolute must on a trip to
Sandoy.

SUÐUROY
The crossing to Suðuroy, which is the southernmost island
in the Faroes, takes around two hours from Tórshavn on
board the modern ferry Smyril. Do get out on deck during
the trip; sailing is the ideal way to take in the islands and
the ever-changing seascape. Go outside enjoy the rush of
fresh air and the spectacular views of the islands Nólsoy,
Streymoy, Hestur, Koltur, Sandoy, Stóra Dímun and Lítla
Dímun, which you get up close to on your travel south.
Suðuroy is unique in itself, not just culturally, but also geologically.
In contrast with the other islands in the archipelago,
which are mostly carved out of the top-most basalt
series, Suðuroy is made up of the lower and middle basalt
series with coal and columnar basalt. When the ferry sails
into the port of Tvöroyri, you will notice the impressive
sculptural columnar basalt, which looks almost like a piece
of Faroese art.
Suðuroy is characterised by fiords and beautiful beaches
on its eastern board and majestic summits on its western
board, there are not many places in the Faroes where you
can get as close to the mountains as you can in Suðuroy.
The roads will take you almost to the very edge of magnificent
bird cliffs and your gaze will be drawn towards dizzying
precipices as you drive past.
Let us begin all the way south, where you can drive along
the old village road between Lopra and Sumba and up to
the area called Hesturin. Here you will experience Beinisvörð,
the second-tallest promontory in the Faroes up close,
but do take note of the sign warning you not to get too
close to the edge. From here you will also have a beautiful
view of the mountains on Suðuroy’s eastern coast. Alternatively,
drive up to Eggjarnar and enjoy the view of the vertical
mountains, cliffs and skerries along the island’s coast.
You may have to steady your nerves, as the road is right
on the edge, but, if you make it, you are rewarded with a
panorama worth the whole trip to the Faroes.
After visited Hesturin, you could drive on to Sumba, the
southernmost island in the Faroes, which is known for its
beautiful surroundings. A little further on from Sumba, you
will reach the southern tip of the archipelago, Akraberg,
where a 1909 lighthouse still stands tall and World War 2
vestiges are a reminder of the role the Faroes played in the
war.
As breathtaking as it may be, Suðuroy has more than its
natural beauty to offer visitors. In the village Vágur we
highly recommend a visit to the Ruth Smith Museum. Ruth
Smith was a seminal
Faroese painter and the
museum houses
a large col-

her work.
In Vágur you will
also find a restaurant
in an old converted warehouse,
Stóra Pakkhús, which is now
houses a whole range of events,
in addition to functioning as village
museum in summer. Fámjin
village church is where the original
Faroese flag, Merkið, is on display.
It was designed and sown by
Faroese students in Copenhagen
in 1919, but was only recognised
as the official Faroese flag
in 1940. The Faroese are very
proud of Merkið, it is a symbol
they identify with strongly and it is
celebrated every year on Faroese Flag
Day, April 25.

Tvöroyri
Vágur
Tvöroyri is the cradle of Faroese industry and still displays
the traces of the great riches accumulated here in the 19 th
century. The Royal Danish Monopoly store from 1836
is nowadays used as a café, pub and museum. Why not
have a drink at the pub as you soak up some history in
this incredibly cosy building. A hike in the award-winning
Hvann hagi is a gift you ought to give yourself. The trip begins
at the end of Tvöroyri’s upper village road known as
Hválv urin. This is a demanding hike and it is not well suited
to those who may be afraid of heights. However, your
efforts to get here will be rewarded with one of the most
unique experiences in the Faroes – a haven where you
sense the greatness of nature and the smallness of man.
Hvann hagi is a secret treasure only accessible on foot. You
hike up the mountainside path and when you reach the
eastern side of Suðuroy, you will encounter a magnificent
view of the islands Stóra Dímun and Lítla Dímun. In order
to reach the lake at the bottom of Hvannhagi valley, you
follow a steep narrow path, which, though some may find
it challenging, is an incredible experience in itself.
Back in Tvöroyri you can drive further North through a couple
of tunnels to reach the exuberant village Hvalba, known
as the home of the only accessible coalmines in the Faroes.
And, further north, Sandvík, with its enchanting beach.
