Culture & discovery
Faroe Islands

A rocky headland where the Viking assembly met from the 9th century; its red turf-roofed houses now house the government. Free access.

Ruins of the unfinished St Magnus Cathedral, St Olaf’s Church and the Roykstovan farmhouse, run by the same family for 17 generations.

History and nature of the Faroes, with an open-air museum around an 1812 farm. One ticket covers all three sites for a week.

A turf-roofed Nordic cultural centre: concerts, exhibitions and a café, in a remarkable building.
