Tourist attractions Tórshavn

Despite its small size, Tórshavn is the capital of the Faroe Islands. It is located in Streymoy, the largest of the archipelago that is right in the center, so its port is one of the best connections to visit the neighboring islands. Founded originally by the Vikings, the city of Tórshavn is the political, economic and cultural center of the Faroe Islands, and in its urban center there are hotels, restaurants and leisure activites. Its main charm lies in its impeccable architecture of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, which has been preserved over the years due to the absence of fires or natural catastrophes. Among its tourist attractions is the Nordic House, the main cultural center of the islands; the Art Museum, where local art is exhibited; and the National Museum, where the origins and history of the island are explained
