Vestmanna is a town in the Faroe Islands on the west of the island of Streymoy. It was formerly a ferry port until an undersea tunnel was built from Vágar to Kvívík and Stykkið. The original name was Vestmannahavn which means west men's harbour.
The city is surrounded by the mountains of Hægstafjall (296 metres), Økslin (317 metres), Loysingafjall (639 metres), and Moskurfjall (624 metres). It is also the departure point for one of the most rewarding boat trips in the Faroe Islands to see the Vestmanna bird cliffs.
Attractions in Vestmanna
Visit the Vestmanna bird cliffs, the city's Church, nearby villages such as Hosvik and Kollafjorour, and Fossa, the highest waterfall in the Faroes which is located between Hvalvik and Haldarsvik (140 metres). During summer, the city and nearby villages host many festivals, sporting events, exhibitions, concerts, and community singing.
