Tinganes & the old town (Reyni)
Morning cluster: the turf-roofed old town on Tinganes, the cathedral and the harbour restaurants, a ten-minute walk end to end; go early in the day before the wind picks up.

- Faroe Islands ↗The Faroes are part of the Danish realm but outside the EU and Schengen: a Schengen visa is not automatically valid there. Check the Faroese and Danish official sources for your passport.
- Faroe Islands ↗Many popular trails cross private farmland and require a paid access fee or a guide; check before you walk and do not cross fences.
- Faroe Islands ↗Subsea tunnels charge tolls; hire cars are usually registered for automatic billing, but ask when you pick up the car.
- Tórshavn ↗Fog and wind cancel flights, ferries and boat tours at short notice: keep a full spare day before any flight home, and do not book non-refundable tours on your last day.
- Tórshavn ↗Outside the town, buses are infrequent and often stop early or at weekends: plan a hire car or a guided tour for anything beyond the walkable centre.
