Tvoroyri, Tverra

Tvøroyri, the largest settlement on Suðuroy Island, is located in its northern part.  This village, nestled on the east coast, was founded in 1836 with the establishment of the Royal Danish Monopoly Trade Store.  Over time, Tvøroyri flourished, particularly after the abolition of the store's monopoly in 1856.  By the early 20th century, it had become one of the largest towns in the Faroe Islands, boasting a thriving fishing industry.

Immerse yourself in culture at the SALT Cultural House, a vibrant hub hosting events, exhibits, and performances.  Explore the scenic nature pearl, Hvannhagi, with a hike starting near Tvøroyri's hospital.  Venture to nearby Froðba, a village showcasing columnar basalt formations along the road, and pay homage to the poet Poul F. Joensen.  Another neighboring village, Trongisvágur, features residential houses, a sports center, and the TB Tvøroyrar Bóltfelag football stadium.

Tvøroyri offers a convenient selection of shops, cafes, and museums. Look out for unique hand-knitted items reflecting the Faroese heritage.  Grocery stores like Sp/f Esla and Bónus ensure you have everything you need during your stay.  While nightlife options are limited in Tvøroyri, you can enjoy cultural events at SALT.  For a livelier scene, head to Tórshavn, the capital of the Faroe Islands.
