history
Look through the empty arches and imagine the medieval community around these heavy stone walls. Kirkjubøur was an important religious centre in the Faroe Islands, and the ruined cathedral remains one of its most striking traces. The open sky above the masonry is part of the landmark you see today.

water
Múlafossur lies beside Gásadalur in western Vágar. The waterfall drops over the island's coastal edge, with a nearby lookout connecting views of the falls, village and Mykines. This meeting of a small settlement, steep land and open Atlantic water gives the place its distinctive geographical character.

engineering
Follow the bright red band up to the lantern and its circular gallery. Skansin overlooks the harbour approaches, combining the story of an old fort with the practical work of a lighthouse. The compact tower gives this corner of Tórshavn an unmistakable splash of colour.
