Meetings & Events in Tórshavn, Where Everything and Everyone is Connected

Like nowhere on earth

The capital Tórshavn blends restaurants in 400-year-old grass-roofed houses with contemporary hotels and conference venues, feasts of Faroese sushi, ocean-fresh langoustines and locally-raised lamb, and charming streets with views of mountains, cliffs and the ocean.

Meaningful connections

Nature is always just outside the window. Get the most of the extraordinary setting with team-building activities in spaces that allow attendees to meet and connect in a completely new way, and return home refreshed and revitalised. Let’s start your journey towards more meaningful connections and even better business results.

Our unordinary nature gives you opportunities for team building you’ll find nowhere else on the planet – including unique regenerative offerings where you can leave a legacy after your business event as well. You will be talking about it for years to come, and we’ll remember it too.

Make Your Event Matter

The Municipality of Tórshavn, Visit Faroe Islands and Visit Tórshavn believe that conferences, meetings and events are hugely important in the development of our city, country and society. And we want to help you make your event as impactful as possible – benefiting both your delegates and our citizens.

If you are hosting a conference or event with over 50 international delegates, it is possible to apply the Municipality of Tórshavn for funding for the reception. We also encourage all hosts to include the local community as much as possible and provide extra funding for initiatives or lectures that invite private citizens participate in the event. In this way, we aim to help your event create a lasting impact on our local community. Read more here.

You can find the criteria to apply for funding here: Reglugerð fyri Móttøku. The criteria are in Faroese, but feel free to contact Brim or Súsanna for any questions.
