Events
Tórshavn may well be small in terms of size, but it’s big when it comes to what’s on. Especially during the hectic summer months, when the weather is at its best and most stable, any number of festivals, concerts and get-togethers take place right across the islands. It’s a great time to visit and the chances are you’ll find something happening wherever you might find yourself!
