Welcome to Streymoy and Tórshavn

Streymoy is the largest of the Faroe Islands with an area of 374 km2 and a population of aprox. 22.000. Our capital - Tórshavn - is here, which today includes almost half of the island Streymoy and the islands Hestur, Koltur and Nólsoy. The centre of the Faroes Islands is in Tórshavn.

Tórshavn has a lot to offer for the guests. We have history, culture, nature and nightlife. Streymoy is, however, not only Tórshavn. Large and small villages, fjords, straits, valleys, high mountains and the rivers. Tórshavn is a transport hub with daily connections to any part of the country and it is possible to return the same day.

With this home page, the Tourist Information Centre offers information about everything Tórshavn and Streymoy have to offer.

This may very well be a world record.
