Visit the beautiful small capital of the Faroe Islands. Torshavn delightfully blends the historical and picturesque with all the features of a modern city.

Torshavn began with a Viking thing—a parliamentary gathering. The thing was followed by the marketplace, which later became a thriving town, and today it is one of the smallest and most pleasant capital cities in the world.

Torshavn delightfully blends the historical and picturesque with all the features of a modern city. Your tour visits Tinganes—the historic part of Torshavn—with a short stop at Skansin to explore the old fort. Heading back to Runavik we stop briefly at a viewpoint overlooking the capital.
