Þórshöfn is a lovely town which is well the worth of visit. The town have a beautiful old houses and old streets. I had one of the best steak at the Tarv restaurant and will definitely go there again with first opportunity.

It’s the town center of Faroe Islands. A charming town but not much to do. There are some good restaurants but the food was a bit on the pricy side, which is understandable considering they may be imported or flown from other places. Getting around the islands by car is fairly easy. It’s feasible to drive to the sightseeing spots on the map within a day, if no hiking is needed. Don’t miss the Mulafossur!

One of my favorite cities (and I've travelled a lot). It's the biggest city in the Faroe islands, yet the feeling is different compared to any city in other countries. Peacefull, well maintained beautiful city where you can find everything you need . Lots of restaurants and bars around the harbour area, very easy to find orientate.

Lovely old town, cathedral with pretty garden and turf roves of parliament buildings. Can you find the ancient circle carved into the rock near the water. Good Tourist Info with loo. Lovely lunch in cafe set back from Main Street which also sold cheese. Toasted sourdough sandwich……very nice. Do visit National Art Gallery near cute wooded park with pond……if you can find it……best to ask!

Torshavn is a lovely place to visit, and the local people are very friendly and helpful. It feels very safe overall, and there is enough of interest to sustain a 3/4 day stay. There are good restaurants (some expensive - depending on what you're used to) and there is good quality food on offer. Getting around is easy, with most of the Town being walkable - with the local "Red" busses being free to use. Exploring beyond Torshavn needs planning. Some bus routes offer a morning departure but can have a late return, with not enough interest for the casual traveller at the destination for more than a couple of hours. Be aware that Shops etc. close at 13:00/14:00 on Saturday, and on Sundays everything is closed (including the local busses, and some of the cafes and restaurants!) The ferry to Nolsoy is cheap and only 30 minutes. However, if you are NOT hiking there is only 1 shop/cafe (closes Saturday at 13:00) and 1 other cafe (Maggie's was open, friendly and with basic food (chips/burgers/pizza) and worth a stop). For non-hikers there is only an hour/90 minutes of interest, but you may have a several hour wait for the return. Maybe in peak season it's better - I was there end April.

I spent 4 nights in the Faroes right before Christmas. I shopped and ate in Tórshavn twice in that time. Everything was beautifully decorated for Christmas (Saint Lucia Day) was the day I arrived. My two favorite spot in Tórshavn was the harbor. The people that work in the shops and restaurants are of typical Nordic culture. They are kind and helpful. This was my first time here, and I was there solo and I felt as if I was at home. I absolutely loved the dinner I had at The Tarv. I had an amazing Faroese meal of salmon, vegetables, and potatoes as well as a sea scallop starter. They have an amazing wine and beer list. Tórshavn is very walkable and you will find parking is decently easy to find. I highly recommend spending some time here even if you are in the Faroe Islands for hikes and adventures.
