We recommend visiting the lighthouse at Akraberg on the southernmost tip of the island and also Beinisvørð, to enjoy the magnificent panorama that unfolds when you get to the top. The village of Famjin, situated in beautiful and dramatic surroundings, is also well worth a visit. The original Faroese flag hangs in the church.

The old town is unique, not only in the Faroes but in the entire world. We recommend a visit to Kirkjubøur which is the historical and cultural centre of the country. Back in Tórshavn you will find many different restaurants and cafés where you can enjoy excellent food. Overnight in Tórshavn.
