Local tip

While in Tórshavn, don’t miss a visit to Heimablídni—a Faroese concept of “home hospitality,” where locals open their homes to serve traditional Faroese meals. It’s a rare and authentic chance to experience local life, hear stories from islanders, and taste homemade dishes like fermented lamb or fresh seafood straight from the fjords. Book in advance, as spots are limited and highly sought after!
