TomFoolery Says: The Faroe Islands very own Brewery is situated in Klaksvík. It's exported all over the islands from here.Faroese Beer is similar to most continental lagers, they have weak beer for sale in supermarkets (they're not allowed to sell anything strong - you have to visit State...
Lunaina Says: Vist the church.... the main things to do option on the Faroe Islands. All churches are interesting, so is the Christiankirkjan in Klaksvik. This is a really big church, it is most of the times open, so you probably won't stand in front of a closed door.
TomFoolery Says: Perhaps the easiest hike from Klaksvík is the hike up to Hálsur, a mountain pass some 250m high on the Western side of the town.Head for the heliport and turn right along an unmade road to the pass. From here you can climb the 2 surrounding peaks, though the day I was there...
TomFoolery Says: Klaksvík Church is a marked changed from the older, more traditional churches you'll see in the villages.It was built in 1963.Unfortunately I didn't get to see the inside. There are fairly limited opening hours (10-11am and 2-3pm when I was there but this could change). I...
Ferðamannaheimið Íbúð: Youth Hostel
TomFoolery Says: I stayed here for one night, as I didn't realise Klaksvík had a campsite.Like all hostels in the Faroes it's a good idea to call or email ahead, when I arrived there was no one there, so I had to go to the Tourist Office and get them to phone someone to come and let me...
TomFoolery Says: A smoky pub, as you'd expect busiest on Friday and Saturday nights.If you want to meet locals you can do no better than spend an evening here, everyone is very friendly and after a few drinks eager to chat about what you think of Klaksvík and the Faores. None.
TomFoolery Says: i was warned by my guidebook not to expect "big city sophistication". Now, I don't know where the author is from, but I'm from London - which I consider to be a fairly big city. I can safely say I've never been to a nightclub in London, or indeed Britain, that I would call...
TomFoolery Says: The short ferry journey from Leirvik to Klaksvík was nothing short of stunning. The cloud seemed like it was only about 10 metres above me, and gave the views of Kalsoy and Kunoy a really magical effect.A tunnel is currently being built from Leirvik to Klaksvík which will...
TomFoolery Says: I was lucky enough to be invited to a Faroese house to partake in the ritual of eating dried fish and whale meat.They asked me if I was "a greenpeace", to which I replied no - I figure I buy chicken and beef in the supermarket so I have no problem with eating whale meat. The...
