Activity itinerary

Skansin Fortress
  • 30m
Skansin, located in the heart of Tórshavn, is a historic fortress offering stunning views of the harbour and the surrounding landscape. Built in the late 16th century to defend the Faroe Islands from pirates, it later played a role in World War II as a British military base. Today, visitors can explore its well-preserved cannons, walls, and lighthouse while taking in the rich history and picturesque scenery.
Tinganes
  • 20m
Tinganes, the historic centre of Tórshavn, is one of the world’s oldest parliamentary meeting places, dating back over 1,000 years. Nestled on a small peninsula, its red wooden buildings and narrow streets are where Viking chieftains gathered to establish the first laws of the Faroe Islands. Today, it remains the seat of the Faroese government, blending ancient tradition with modern politics.
Torshavn Cathedral
  • 20m
Reyn, the old town of Tórshavn, is a charming area where the traditional Faroese way of life comes alive. Its narrow, winding streets are lined with centuries-old wooden houses, many with iconic grass roofs and vibrant colours. This picturesque area offers a glimpse into Tórshavn's past, showcasing the architectural heritage of the Faroe Islands. A stroll through Reyn feels like stepping back in time, as you experience the atmosphere of a bygone era while still being in the heart of the city. It’s a perfect spot for history lovers and photographers alike.
Torshavn
  • 20m
At the end of the tour, your guide will lead you to the city centre, where you'll find a vibrant hub of arts and crafts shops showcasing local artisans' work. It's the perfect place to pick up unique souvenirs, explore Faroese creativity, and discover much more.
