Tórshavn, the capital and largest city of the Faroe Islands, is located on the east coast of the island of Strymer in the North Atlantic, at the heart of the sea transportation between Norway, Scotland and Iceland. Founded in the 9th century, the city is one of the oldest capitals in the Nordic countries, combining history and modernity. The old town "Klaksvík", with its colorful wooden houses and cobblestone streets from the 19th century, is a reminder of a traditional Faroese fishing village, while the new town has a modern harbor, commercial center and cultural facilities. As the political, economic and cultural center of the Faroe Islands, Tórshavn is the gateway to the natural and cultural attractions of the Faroe Islands, with its fishing industry, fishing boats and cargo ships in the harbor all year round, as well as its unique mountain and sea landscape, Scandinavian architecture, and Viking heritage.
