ハイライト

  • Explore the most historical district of Tórshavn, an area that the Vikings settled.

  • Enjoy the contrast of contemporary Tórshavn set against its turf-roofed Old Town.

説明

Explore the historical district of Tinganes in the diminutive capital of the Faroe Islands for a revealing glimpse into Tórshavn’s past. Once the home of the parliament for more than 1,000 years, Tinganes was rebuilt in the late 1600s following a devastating fire. Although the prime minister’s office is still located there, most of the buildings are stone-and-timber, red-painted residences with grass-covered roofs. Tinganes exudes charm, especially along the winding streets in the center of the district. Not far away, you will find Fort Skansin, which was built in the 16th century to protect Tórshavn from pirate attacks. The older cannons there are Danish, the newer ones are from World War II. You will also visit the Nordic House, a glass-and-steel cultural center with a contemporary design—except for its turf roof. The other modern sections of Tórshavn are just as alluring and provide a perspective that belies the capital’s founding in the 13th century and even longer history.
