Overview

This self-guided tour can be done with MP3 offline audio players or the Tell Me North app. Both options allow you to do this tour at your own pace by foot, car, bus, or public transport. You can listen while exploring the stops or do so while sipping your coffee at a local café, thus giving you the freedom to decide on your own, while learning about contemporary Klaksvík, its people, and factors that have impacted the local community through faith, football, fishing hooks and sub-sea tunnels.

The story Understanding Klaksvík gives you an insight previously only known to locals into the local life and culture, history, and power dynamics and will enhance your understanding of the Faroe Islands as a whole.
