Things you Must See in Torshavn

Tórshavn Cathedral

Fan of Scandinavian architecture? Be sure to visit Tórshavn Cathedral and the surrounding streets. The Cathedral was established in 1788 and is a great vantage point for viewing the harbour and town.

Tinganes (Parliament Point)

For those interested in history, a stop by Tinganes is a must when exploring Tórshavn. The Vikings established their parliament here in 850, making it one of the oldest parliamentary meeting places in the world.

Guðrun & Guðrun

Niels Finsensgøta 13, Tórshavn 100, Faroe Islands

If you are looking for chic and warm sweaters, look no further than Guðrun&Guðrun. The stunning sweaters are produced with Faroese wool by local women in the Faroe Islands, Peru & Jordan.

Art

One of the greatest parts of exploring Tórshavn is discovering the local art. One artist that stood out for me was Jon Magnus Joensen. His paintings are bright, whimsical, and seem to capture the wildness and uncertainty of the Faroe Islands.

If you’re a fan of pottery, pretty pastels, and clever designs, be sure to stop by No 10. It’s the perfect place to find a statement piece for your home or a creative souvenir.
