Holidays to the Faroe Islands

Tórshavn, on Streymoy Island, is the capital city of the Faroe Islands. It’s known for its old town, Tinganes, crammed with wooden turf-roofed houses on a small peninsula. The name Faroe Islands first appeared as Faereyjar (in approximately 1225), which means “Sheep Islands”. This presumably led to the national symbol, which is a ram. This name was given by the Viking age settlers from Norway in the ninth century.

There is so much to see and do in Tórshavn itself; from visiting the Tórshavn Cathedral which is the second oldest church on the islands or perhaps the Mikkeller Tórshavn; a 500-year old wooden house featuring some of the best beers! This is all in addition to exploring the unique landscape with hikes, visiting local families, horse riding or even helicopter rides!
