Welcome to the Capital of Faroe Islands - Torshavn!
Located on Faroe Island's second largest island of Eysturoy, the capital of Tórshavn is home to just under 15,000 people making it one of the least populated capital cities in Europe!
Faroe Islands is a beautiful country and its capital is no different. From historic grass-roofed homes in the Reyn Historic district to one of the oldest parliaments in the WORLD! Today I will be taking you around this beautiful capital, sharing some history with you and show you the highlights that you must visit when you visit Tórshavn!

May I ask what is the best period to visit the islands? I know the weather is much like in Scotland and Ireland changing much and can be cold or warm in a same day, but what periode would be most recommended? Also not too touristy but more hotel availability for spontaneous cruises around the isles instead of planning everything ahead of time

@LukeGeeTravels 10 ай бұрын

The most popular or best season is between May - August. The puffin colonies return to the islands, much more sunshine and opportunity for better weather. I did this trip in the beginning of September and had amazing weather for most of my time, unfortunately I did not get to see the puffins. I did a whole video explaining a visit to Faroe Islands here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gdOHjLhhr53LpZs.html

@juli8vdberg562 you have to spend a little more than some other countries because it is an island so things are generally expensive. It’s not as expensive as I thought and definitely rent a car!

And also then if you are you will be on the UN list over countries right? You are not therr yet sorry how ever much you want to be... And yes I still believe in fact checking before making a video

@blblblblbl395 7 ай бұрын

@@LukeGeeTravelsevery state in the USA has a parliament (called State Legislature or General Assembly). Also, these states are more than autonomous, they're officially sovereign, just as the federal government. Yet, no one refers to Alaska, Hawaii or even Guam as countries, simply because it's not what they are. The same thing applies to the Faroe Islands. There is a principle in international law that to be considered a sovereign country, an entity must be able to enter into diplomatic relationships with other countries/governments. Apart from some limited aspects, and since 2005 only, the foreign relations of the Faroe Islands are handled by Denmark. Currently, the Faroe Islands are not a sovereign country, but maybe they will be in the future.
