H. N. JACOBSENS BÓKAHANDIL

A visit to this beautiful and huge building around a courtyard is a must: the oldest bookshop in the Faroes and one of the oldest shops still in operation. It was opened in 1865 by the bookbinder Hans Nicolai Jacobsen, father of Jakob Jakobsen (1864-1918), one of the most important Faroese philologists. The present shop is a labyrinth of books, of course, but also souvenirs, crockery, dolls, video games, etc.
