Sample Craft Beer at Mikkeller Tórshavn

Nestled in a historic neighbourhood in a four-hundred-year-old wooden house, Mikkeller Tórshavn offers a warm and welcoming spot to enjoy great drinks. The interior is modest and understated, but the friendly staff and impressive selection of local and international ales make it the perfect place to unwind before dinner.

For those who like to combine fitness with fun, Mikkeller Tórshavn also hosts a running club every Thursday (and on the first Saturday of each month), giving participants the perfect excuse to reward themselves with a refreshing pint afterwards

Best time to go

Despite their northerly location, the Faroes enjoy surprisingly mild temperatures thanks to the tail end of the Gulf Stream which tempers the chill. Strong winds and frequent rainfall are part of daily life, which summer highs usually around 15°C. If you want to escape the heat of summer, then the Faroe Islands is a great option!

Arrive expecting a mix of cloud and rain along with days of sunshine and endless views. Most visitors choose to come between May and August, the driest and warmest months, with July and August being peak season. In summer, the islands’ northern latitude means long days and near-twilight nights, when mountain silhouettes linger against the sky. Between May and August you can expect 16 to 20 hours of daylight.
