What you will visit:
Torshavn
Settled by Vikings around 900 A.D., Torshavn is the capital city of the Faroe Isles. One of the smallest capital cities in the world, it is the government, banking and educational center of the land. This pretty town of 20,000 rises gently up the hillside from the water's edge, dotted with red painted government buildings and charming turf-roofed cottages. Restaurants and cafes can be found nestled alongside the national theater, the national library and several delightful museums.
What you will see along the way:

The narrow streets of Torshavn wind past charming turf-topped cottages, rising up a gentle slope from the bustling harbor. The placid water is home to small boats and yachts moored near passenger ships and giant merchant ships that bring goods to the area.
Photo Opportunities:
Torshavn Viewpoint - The charming village spreads out below the hillside, offering views of the narrow winding streets, colorful turf-topped houses and the sparkling harbor below.
Kollafjordur Viewpoint - This lovely roadside town features a rustic black-walled and turf-roofed church overlooking the crystal waters of a stunning fjord.
Kivik Viewpoint - Nestled in a green crook at the edge of a fjord, this tiny village offers glorious views of the fjord with the rocky island of Koltur rising in the distance. There is also a delightful turf-topped geodesic dome igloo available to lucky travelers as a unique place to stay.
Nordradalur Viewpoint - Located on the Western coast of Streymoy Island, this tiny valley settlement offers beautiful cliffside views of the fjord sweeping out towards the island of Koltur.
