Welcome to Tórshavn

I am Rúna, and I run TórshavnWithLocals together with my husband, Roar. We look forward to share our love and fascination of our city, offering you the perspective of a local on the inspiring people, culture and tales of our town at the edge of the world.

We are both active participants in the local society and have had long careers in business and public administration. In our daily life we are engaged in a range of activities and projects.

Both are certified guides and enjoy socialising.

We invite you to join us for a fascinating adventure in Tórshavn and look forward to spending time with you.

Meet Rúna

I am a creative and social type and an active hiker, having visited every village and hiked to every mountain peak in the Faroe Islands. I have initiated and hold the role as the chair of the Faroese organization propagating the “right to roam”. I am a family person and enjoy to make people comfortable.

I hold a Master degree in Fishery Science, and have a special interest in people and culture.
