Coastal Tórshavn — one of the world’s smallest capitals — is itself a nexus of creativity, embracing the contemporary without losing its connection to the past.
The old quarter, populated by centuries-old turf-roofed houses, covers a peninsula that juts into the busy harbor.
Walk the city’s winding lanes, steep alleyways and wide boulevards, and you’ll find buzzy coffee shops, wine bars and fashion emporia.
Rather than just using Tórshavn as a base for island hopping, stay awhile and explore the city’s food, fashion and art.
For food loversA sense of whimsy pervades ROKS (meaning “silly”), the laid-back sister restaurant to two-Michelin-starred KOKS (temporarily decamped to Greenland, but returning to Streymoy in 2025).
