Step back in time in Kirkjubøur, the historical heart of the Faroe Islands. You'll feel the weight of centuries as you wander between the dramatic, unfinished walls of the Magnus Cathedral, a truly atmospheric ruin against the wild coastal backdrop. Just a stone's throw away, you can visit the still-active, charming Saint Olav's Church and then pop into Kirkjubøargarður, said to be one of the oldest continuously inhabited wooden houses in the world. The whole village is compact and easily explored on foot, making for a perfect, leisurely trip into our nation's past.
