Accessibility in Tórshavn

Physical Disabilities

Exploring Tórshavn with limited mobility is becoming easier as more places enhance their accessibility. Our streets and public buildings are continually being upgraded with ramps and elevators, and the number of accessible locations is steadily growing.

Getting around town is also supported by city buses equipped with designated seating areas, though regional buses are still working toward these same upgrades.

While there is always more progress to make, Tórshavn’s tourist attractions and restaurants are committed to being as inclusive as possible.

Planning ahead and checking specific destinations will help ensure your visit is smooth and enjoyable.

Below you’ll find a list of businesses and organizations in Tórshavn and the specific accessibility features they provide.

Hidden Disabilities

In Tórshavn, we want everyone to feel included and seen. That’s why we’re proud that so many businesses and institutions continue to join the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower – an initiative that promotes understanding for people with disabilities, conditions, or chronic illnesses that aren’t immediately visible.

By wearing the Sunflower, you signal to those around you that you might need a little extra help, understanding, or simply more time. Participating businesses and organizations have staff trained to recognize the symbol and offer the right support.

Where to find the Sunflower network in Tórshavn:
