Akela (Tórshavn), the capital and largest city of the Faroe Islands, is located on the southeast coast of the main Faroese island of Strum and is the political, economic and cultural center of the archipelago. The city has a long history dating back to the 9th century AD, when it was settled by the Vikings, and still has the oldest parliamentary site in Northern Europe, the Løgting, which emphasizes its rich history. The city is surrounded by mountains and the sea, with colorful wooden houses and modern buildings, showing a unique Faroese atmosphere. As an important port in the North Atlantic, fishing is the mainstay of Akelaar's industry, while its peaceful atmosphere and unspoiled nature attract tourists from all over the world, making it an ideal gateway to experience the culture and nature of the Faroe Islands.
