Tórshavn is special.
Not special as in it is a small fishing village special.
Or historically special.
What is special about Tórshavn are the weekends.
Cities have a night life. Chicago has a few bars and clubs. New York has Madison Square Garden. Copenhagen has Tivoli. Ibiza, São Paulo, etc. So the fact Tórshavn has one is not what makes it special.
What makes Tóshavns night life special is how the streets are packed every Friday and Saturday night around 2 AM. The clubs and bars are so close together, the edges of each club's crowd blends together and it becomes a single carnival.
Yes, you see this in Miami and certain cities in California too. But how can one expect that in the middle of the North Atlantic in a highly religious society?
The weekend speaks volumes about the kind of society the Faroe Islands is. They love to party here. They love to drink. They love having fun. This city has a quality of night life that cities either are jealous of or want to prohibit.
It is all very strange to me.
