But don’t think Tórshavn is provincial and parochial, far from it. The Faroese capital offers everything from international-standard hotels to high-quality art galleries and wool designers, where you’ll find striking patterns and cool pieces inspired by the islands’ rugged landscapes and rich history. And that’s precisely Tórshavn’s charm – the Faroese capital has the best of today’s modern world yet you’re never far removed from the islands’ stirring Viking past.
Tórshavn’s nightlife might be small, but it’s mighty. With about a handful of bars, you can easily hit most of them in one night—if you’re up for the challenge. You’ll find everything from cozy pubs where everyone knows your name by drink two, to livelier spots with lots of dancing and local bands rocking out. The best part? The city’s so compact that you will still find your way home even if you have too much fun. Just know there is a good chance you will run into your bartender at the grocery store the next morning.
