What To Expect

Kirkjubour

Our first stop is Kirkjubø, the old cultural center of the Faroe Islands and one of the few places that can make you feel as if you’ve stepped back into the Middle Ages. We’ll take a short walk around this charming village and share stories about its historical events, myths, and legends that have connected Kirkjubø and Sandoy through the ages.

Skopun

Skopun, only 9 km2, is the smallest municipality in the Faroe Islands. It was once famous for having the world’s largest mailbox. The record has been broken since, but the big 7.42-meter-tall blue mailbox is still a sight to see. It stands out in the village with its narrow streets. Before the tunnel, the harbor was the main connection between Streymoy and Sandoy. On a clear day, you can see the ferry port on Streymoy and Kirkjubø.
