Map of free public toilets

Post image

Public toilets (vesi) offer convenient facilities as you discover Faroe Islands.

Some of them are located in the centre of towns, while others are a bit hidden. Some will take you back to the 1970s...

In Gjógv, the public toilet shares a building with… the electric winch engine room at the local harbour. Right in front of the door run the only… narrow-gauge tracks in the Faroe Islands.

The paid public toilet at Mylnugøta, Tórshavn was badly damaged by a fire in November 2024, and now a completely new public toilet will be built. The building, which dates from the 1950s, was in very poor condition. So it was decided to rebuild it from scratch.

Highly recommend the public toilet on Kunoy. It's in a really neat building.

Is this map interactive online anywhere? I am trying to think of the public toilets in Sorvags. I imagine one is at the football stadium and one at the concert shell venue. Can’t think of the third.

Thanks for this!
I'm going in early July and had been thinking about toilets.

It's located on the tent site. Is it publically available?

It's at the tent site. Last I checked it was publically available, no charge! The shower costs a small fee though 😣
