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.

Guide to Faroe Islands
Travel agency
👍👍 We toured the Faroes with Guide to Faroe Islands Tour company on a cruise ship stop in August 2022. The entire process of reserving the tour was very easy to schedule and confirm. Our ship happened to stop at an alternative port to Tórshavn so the guide had to travel to find us that morning, yet sti...

Scenic spot
👍👍 Beautiful gardens, marvelous old house, and great hospitality. Our meal was delicious from the fish soup to the beef stew and steamed potatoes. Dessert was also amazing. Wish I’d eaten a smaller breakfast before I came. Thank you Lena and Jakup for a lovely experience.

Crownprincess Mary’s bench
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Some locals dove off a little beyond this point which was fun to watch.
Walk along the cliff on the other side, at the minimum go a short distance to get a picture of the entire village with the gorge. You can also hike up to the sheep shed and see the bird cliff, about 45-60 min return, along the...

Witches Finger Trail
Hiking area
👍👍 Trail is very easy to follow! After parking the road is only for residents. Free to visit!
Even on a foggy day I was still able to see a bit of the cliff, so by the end of the day I went back and had this amazing view!
I am glad there wasn’t an entrance fee 😄

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.

Svartafoss Waterfall
Nature preserve
👍👍 If you take the Smyrl Line ferry from Denmark to Iceland without extending your stop in Faroe Islands, you’ll get roughly three hours to walk around Torshavn in the morning as the sun comes up.
This was the highlight. A bit of a hike for something small but still a beholden and unreal sight.
