View on Mullafossur and Gasadalur village
Scenic spot
👍👍 Free, about 15 minute drive from the airport, has a beautiful waterfall, a cafe that closes at 4pm, and is a nice, quaint place to check out. There's a good trail that goes from the falls to behind the village and into the village. Worth checking out if you have the time. The tunnel into Gasadalur...

The Seal Woman (Kópakonan)

She represents the seal woman whose skin was stolen by a farmer whom she was forced to marry and bear children. In time she escaped to join her true partner who was subsequently murdered by her abductor. She then...

Paname Café

👍👍 Definitely a must visit when in Torshavn. The atmosphere is so cozy and the staff so helpful. They make their own hot chocolate which is so delicious. Also they have homemade sweets and pies. If you’re a group of friends there are also some boarding games to keep you entertained.

Kirkjubømúrurin
Historical place
👍👍 Kirkjubøur is a beautiful historical place in the Island from the medieval times. It is very close to the Capital Torshavn. You can just room around freely. Though one tip, if you wanna enter the wooden house which is called the farm house, there is a box there to put 50 danish kroners.

Fossá
Hiking area
👍👍 Super scenic spot, I recommend to go above the lower level waterfall and reach the cave behind the upper waterfall. Going up is a bit tricky and requires climbing but it gives you the full experience

Trælanípa
Tourist attraction
👍 Incredible place, we’ll worth the hike! Standing on the edge of the cliffs is breathtaking. You are permitted to fly your drone here - make sure it’s not too windy the day you go! Also there are many sheep along the way. Only 1 star off for the steep price for the hike though.

Book store
😐 The building and the interior is gorgeous. But it seems like a touristy place noted in all the books you should do. Cake was nice, coffee was black and bitter roast. Still nice atmosphere. But avoid times when there are a lot of foreigners .

Excellent, well executed dishes—we ordered the Hamsa salad (to get some greens in our system), biryani (the spices and flavor, perfect) and lentil soup (hearty and filling). This cozy re...
