SF Posted October 15, 2005 #1 Share Posted October 15, 2005 We more or less have decided on which tours with Princess we want to take for our upcoming cruise except in Torshavn. Has anyone visited here and if so what are the main attractions or sights to see? Some of the tours include the Tinganes, the village of Saksun, and the National Historical Museum. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as we really are undecided on this port. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill S Posted January 4, 2006 #2 Share Posted January 4, 2006 We visited Torshavn in 2001 on a HAL cruise and took a morning excursion on a bus ride into the mountains overlooking Torshanvn: the scenery was spectacular! It is a beautiful and pleasantly surprising place. After the bus ride, we strolled all over town on our own and thought the shopping was very good. Torshavn has a picturesque harbor, reminiscent of New England small town harbors, with lots of small boats of all kinds and colorful houses and buildings. I wish I could be of more help and hope you have a great visit there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Posted January 4, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Thanks for replying. We're thinking of taking a tour also but there are so many we're having a hard time deciding which one to do. Some mention the National Historical Museum others the village of Saksun. Do you remember the name of your tour or what you saw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill S Posted January 5, 2006 #4 Share Posted January 5, 2006 SF: I will have to do some research on the name of the excursion we took. It was about 2-3hours long. Torshavn proper is very walkable. I will post again with results of my research. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
