Torshavn Short Break
Travel to the Faroe Islands and enjoy a break in one of the world's smallest capitals - Tórshavn. Don't be mislead by its small size; Tórshavn still manages to fit lots in between its winding lanes and passages.
Discover restaurants, cafes and handicraft shops, and visit the Faroese Museum, Art Gallery and the Nordic House to gain insight into the incredible Faroese culture and way of life. A stroll through the iconic Old Town is a must with its narrow streets and turf-roofed houses and what just might be the world's most charming-looking parliament.
Beyond the capital, there is plenty of incredible landscapes, walks and excursions available. Speak to your Regent Faroe Islands specialist about adding optional excursions to your holiday to discover as much of this fascinating and beautiful archipelago as possible.
This short break is based on spending three nights at 62°N Hotel - a comfortable 3-star option just a few minutes walk from the harbour, but there are plenty of other alterative hotel options available including:
Speak with your Regent Faroe Islands specialist about upgrading your accommodation.
