Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, straight away. Ships berth practically in the centre of the Faroese capital: no shuttle, no waiting, you walk down the gangway and you are already in the old town.
The rocky peninsula separating the two harbour basins, occupied by dark red wooden buildings under turf roofs that still house the offices of the Faroese government. Assemblies have met here since Viking times, making it one of the oldest working seats of power in the world.
Yes. No fences, no checkpoints: you wander between the tarred façades, put a hand on the worn rock where chieftains debated a thousand years ago, and may pass a civil servant cycling home for dinner.
A fort raised in 1580 to deter pirates, altered through successive wars and used as a British command post during the Second World War. You reach it by following the waterfront eastwards; its small lighthouse and cannon watch the ships go by.
From Skansin. It is the best viewpoint over the harbour, with your ship set against the islands closing the horizon.
Faroese wool, knitted to patterns handed down through generations: the souvenir truest to the spirit of the islands. The knitwear shops cluster in the few pedestrian streets of the modern centre, alongside cafés and bookshops.
The national museum, with its Viking collections, traditional boats and carved medieval church pews, rare survivors of the archipelago's early art.
The spiritual cradle of the Faroes, a quarter of an hour away over the mountain. Facing the waves stand the high walls of the Magnus cathedral, never finished around 1300, St Olav's church still in use, and the Roykstovan farmhouse, a wooden dwelling roughly nine centuries old lived in by the same family for generations.
Yes. Faroese people like to say you get all four seasons in a day here. The rain passes quickly, the light comes back better for it, and the green slopes never look finer than after a shower.
No, one of the smallest in the world, and that is its charm. The centre fits into a few pedestrian streets, the pace stays easy-going, and even rush hour feels like a Sunday morning. Around the basins, cafés and micro-roasters serve brunches worthy of Copenhagen.
