    Centuries-old hilltop fortress with cannons, WWII weapons and a lighthouse overlooking the sea.

      Skansin fortress with its red and white lighthouse sits enthroned on a hill above the eastern harbor. The freely accessible fortress offers a magnificent view of Thórshavn and the offshore island of Nólsoy

        Very historical part of Tórshavn. A nice view of Tórshavn and the harbor. Easily accessible. Be sure to visit.
