A visit is highly reconemended, as is a visit to the Nordic House, the harbor area and the old part of Thórshavn, á Reyni, located at Tinganes, which separates the harbor in Eystaravág og Vesteravág.

It is said that the Norwegians colonized the place in 825! On the outermost tip of Tinganes you find Skansapakkhúsið, the main building of the Faroese government.
