Andreas i Vagsbotn: Souvenir shopping

    A big souvenir shop in Torshavn is 'Andreas i Vagsbotn'. It is near the harbour of Torshavn and offers a lot of local craftwork and all other typical Faroese souvenirs. So you will find puffin-stuff, Faroese flags, clothes, cards and much more... We did not find the people of the shop too friendly, when we did not buy much... hahaha..... But I am sure every tourist to the Faroe Islands will love the people, who are usually extremely friendly!

    Niels Finsens Gta
    by TomFoolery
    The main shopping street in Trshavn is Niels Finsens Gta (incidently named after Faroese Doctor Niels R Finsen, who won the nobel prize in 1903)

    There are a number of touristy shops along here, as well as the Tourist Information Centre. There's also an excellent bookshop, selling books in English, Faroese and Danish.

    The SMS Shopping Centre
    by TomFoolery
    The rather dreary looking SMS Shopping Centre (or SOS Shopping Centre as it's occasionally known) contains Trshavn's largest supermarket Miklagarur, a few fast food outlets and a few other interesting stores.

    Sirri: "A treasure from the Vikings"

    Sirri is the Faroese clothing company - and they use organic, all natural dye free yarn from pure Faroese wool.

    Their products can be bought in the Faroes as well as Denmark and Norway.

    Try a wonderfully warm jumper or scarf.

    Remember to ask for your VAT free cheque. I think if you spend more than 300 DKK you are entitled to the VAT free offer.

    N H Jacobsen: A long term seller of books

    H.N. Jacobsen's book shop is located within a protected 3-winged building in a beautiful garden. It was built in 1860, and was initially a "realskli" - a secondary school until 1918. It has been a bookshop since it ceased to be a school.

    It is one of the best in town for foreign language publications.

    Opening Hours:

    Mnadag - Mikudag: 09.30 - 17.30
    Hsdag - Frggjadag: 09.30 - 18.00
    Leygardag: 09.30 - 14.00
    Fyrsta leygardag mnainum: 09.30 - 16.00

    I am sure you have started to understand Faroese by this point!

    next to the tourist information offices
