Gøta
A seaside town on Eysturoy, known for the G! Festival on the beach and the site associated with Viking figure Tróndur.
Gøta is made up of several villages, including North Gøta and South Gøta, which surround Gøtuvík Bay. The beach at South Gøta hosts the G! Festival every July, one of the largest music events in the Faroe Islands. North Gøta has the well-preserved 18th-century turf-roofed farmhouse museum Blásastova, as well as remains linked to Tróndur, a legendary Viking figure. It is about 40 minutes' drive from Tórshavn, and you can combine it with visits to Gjógv and Funningur.
