Torshavn Harbour Faroe Islands

Tórshavn is the capital of the Faroe Islands, a remote North Atlantic archipelago halfway between Norway and Iceland. The harbour has been inhabited since the Viking age and the old town of Tinganes — a cluster of red turf-roofed buildings on a promontory — is one of the most atmospheric harbour scenes in northern Europe. The Faroes offer extraordinary sailing in dramatic mountain and fjord scenery, with reliable winds and the challenge of the open North Atlantic. A rare and rewarding destination for adventurous cruisers.
