Skansin Fortress

Faroe Islands - Torshavn - a short clip of Skansin

Just a short clip from Skansin. Skansin is a historic fortress in Torshavn built in 1580 by Magnus Heinason to protect against pirate raids of the town, after he himself was nearly caught up in one such raid. The fort was expanded considerably in 1780 and went through a series of rebuilds for many years afterwards. During the Second World War the fort served Britain as a military base. Two 5.5 inch guns date from the British occupation, standing along with many older Danish cannons. (Wiki)

Walk with Me in Tórshavn | The Tiny Capital City of Faroe Islands (Føroyar/Færøerne)

Walk with me in Tórshavn. This captivating tiny capital city of Faroe Islands is named after Thor´s haven and located in the southern part on the east coast of Streymoy island.

I have to take my luggage quickly to my hotel room before we are ready to explore the city. Inside the room we find a great idea. Then we are going to walk nearby harbor thinking what to do and see in Thorshavn.

First, we are going to take the most iconic picture from Vágsbotnur marina and then check out few local souvenirs. Then we are heading to historic part of the city, Tinganes (parliament point). For the first time in the Viking ages Norwegian colonists placed their Ting (parliament) on the location in 825. It makes this place one of the oldest parliamentary meeting places in the world. You can easily feel the old history while strolling between wooden houses with grass roofs on top.

Secondly, we are climbing up to the hill to see Skansin. It is a very small fortress with lovely light house on the top. Last, we have just enough time to visit charming one hundred years old. It is a book shop in the heart of Torshavn. I just had to have these little puffin decorations as a souvenir from this beautiful little place.
