You will explore key landmarks, including the Viking-founded Tinganes peninsula, the Prime Minister’s Office, and the House of Parliament.
You will then admire the charming Tórshavn Cathedral and stroll through the historic Old Town of Reyni, with its iconic, black-painted houses and sod roofs. Visit the Tórshavn Courthouse before ending your tour at the scenic Skansin fortress, where you can take in breathtaking seaside views.
