Excursion Tórshavn the capital tour at Torshavn

Enjoy an introduction to this lovely capital city during this half-day excursion.

Torshavn

It began with a Viking "Thing" (original Norse assembly), followed by a market, later it became a thriving town and today it is one of the smallest and most pleasant capital cities in the world. Tórshavn today blends the historical and picturesque with all the features of a modern city. Discover quality restaurants and hotels, conference facilities, interesting museums, discotheques, cinema, live theatre, exhibitions, sports facilities, parks and of course, excellent shopping. The town and the surrounding areas are ideal for window-shopping and pleasant strolls.

Many extended excursions to the rest of the Faroes begin from the harbour. As Tórshavn is located in the centre of the country, the well-developed bus and ferry service can whisk you away to almost every corner of the Faroes and back again the same day.

Tinganes and Skansin

At this historical section of Tórshavn, make a short stop at Skansin to explore the old fort before continuing up to the beautiful Nordic House cultural centre. Drive through the modern sections of the city and before heading back to the harbour, stop briefly at a viewpoint overlooking the capital.
