Europe / Faroe Islands / Tórshavn travel directory


Tórshavn (IPA: [ˈtʰɔuʂhaun]) is the capital of the Faroe Islands. The name of the city means Thor's Harbour, named after the god of thunder and lightning in Norse mythology. The Faroese government is located in the historic Tinganes peninsula of Tórshavn. The parliament, the Løgting, was originally located on Tinganes but, since 1856, it has been located on the town square, Vaglið. To the north west of the town lies the 347 metre high mountain Húsareyn, and to the southwest, the 350 metre high Kirkjubøreyn. Tórshavn Cathedral was first built in 1788 and partly rebuilt in 1865. Since 1990 it has been the seat of the Bishop of the Faroe Islands (in the national Evangelical–Lutheran Church). The city was founded in the 10th century, and was temporarily occupied during World War II by the British (1940–45), following the Nazi-German invasion of mainland Denmark.

Streymoy is the largest of the Faroe Islands with an area of 374 km2 and a population of aprox. 22.000. Our capital - Tórshavn - is here, which today includes almost half of the island Streymoy and the islands Hestur, Koltur and Nólsoy. The centre of the Faroes Islands is in Tórshavn.

Tórshavn has a lot to offer for the guests. We have history, culture, nature and nightlife. Streymoy is, however, not only Tórshavn. Large and small villages, fjords, straits, valleys, high mountains and the rivers. Tórshavn is a transport hub with daily connections to any part of the country and it is possible to return the same day.
