After checking into Hilton Garden Inn, we suggest taking a walk down to the old part of Tórshavn. As you wander through the houses in the old town, you will discover a web of lanes and passageways, stairs, protruding rocks and tiny black-tarred houses with white windows and grass roofs. Furthermore you will walk upon Tinganes, one of the oldest parlaments in the world, which the Faroese still use today. Please respect the privacy of the people living in these historical houses

End the day with a visit to one of the cafés or bars and chat with the locals.

Spend the night at Hilton Garden Inn.

Saturday: Highlights of Tórshavn, the navel of the world. 

After breakfast, we suggest exploring Tórshavn. At the far end of the marina is the shop Østrøm where you can look at and maybe even buy some of the modern Faroese art and handicrafts. Other interesting shops to visit in the city center are Tutl that sells Faroese music, Guðrun & Guðrun who sell knitwear in the latest Faroese fashion, Marjun Heimá that has specialised in producing the Faroese national costume and you can see a very nice display of these in the shop and Ullvøruhúsið. On the walk around town, you will pass by the quaint old bookshop, which is definitely worth a visit.

Have lunch at one of the many good cafes / restaurants.

If you need a break from shopping, we suggest a visit to the Nordic House, a Scandinavian culture centre, or the Art Museum and Gallery. Here you can see a wide range of Faroese art, showing how the nature and landscape has been dominant as a motif throughout the history of Faroese art.
 

Sunday: Departure from the Faroe Islands 

Check out of accomodation.

If you have the time we suggest a visit to the village of Kirkjubøur which is the Faroe Islands’ historical and cultural centre. The picturesque old farm is home to a family who for 17 generations have run the farmstead and ecclesiastic site. See the unfinished Magnus Cathedral and the small medieval church of St.Olav.
