Tórshavner Stadtpark

Tórshavner Stadtpark is a green space in the Faroese capital where Nordic trees and shrubs grow along winding paths and around ponds. Observation points are distributed throughout the grounds to provide different viewpoints across the landscape.

The park was founded in 1950 and marked the beginning of dedicated green space in the capital city. This founding reflected the city's desire at that time to create a public space for its growing population.

The park hosts open-air concerts and art exhibitions throughout the year, where visitors can experience local creative work in an outdoor setting. These gatherings show how central this space is to the community's cultural life.

Entry is free and the grounds are accessible year-round with multiple marked paths suitable for different walking levels. Picnic areas and children's play spaces are available to help visitors enjoy time outdoors in any season.

The grounds were planted specifically with species adapted to thrive in the harsh Nordic climate of the Faroes. Many visitors overlook how these cold-tolerant plants manage to flourish despite the extreme conditions on the islands.
