Faith, football, tunnels, and fishing hooks are four essential elements in Faroese culture and are especially important in everyday life Klaksvík, where these subjects will be discussed during coffee breaks at work, at home and in other everyday social contexts.
With multiple churches locally, faith plays such an integral role in everyday life of many. So does football, which most locals play, have played, help out with or talk about daily. The subsea tunnel transformed Klaksvík, and fittingly the giant fishing hook was added to the first roundabout welcoming everyone.
The story Understanding Klaksvík gives you an insight previously only known to locals into the local life and culture, history, power dynamics and will enhance your understanding of the Faroe Islands as a whole.
This tour has four stops, which can be played in any order.
