The old but stylish Torshavn or 'Thor's Harbor' in Danish, is the capital city of the Faroe Islands, a possession of Denmark despite being some 600 miles from the Danish mainland. The islands are usually best known for a rugged, rocky, but green-tinged allure that is perfectly in fitting with their Scandinavian roots. Moreover, rocky tors jutting up to the sky, grass-covered hills and turf-roofed houses, epic waterfalls cascading over cliffs, hidden grottoes and inlets — all these are on the menu if you head to the Faroe Islands. Even among the most rugged trekkers who revel in all that the Faroese great outdoors has to offer, the charms of Torshavn are very well known. There is also plentiful shopping, cafes, bars, and restaurants featuring the freshest of seafood and traditional dishes.
