The Faroese Løgting traces its origins to around AD 900, which makes it one of the oldest parliaments in the world. It still meets in Tórshavn, in a town of about 13,000 people.
The clock: Tórshavn keeps UTC+0 with Britain rather than UTC+1 with Denmark, which governs it — one of the few places where an autonomous territory chose a different hour from its capital.
Tórshavn lies at 6.8°W. Its time zone, UTC+0, is built around the prime meridian (0°). The 6.8° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 27 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:27 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 87 minutes and pushing solar noon to 13:27.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 19h 46m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 5h 9m. The swing between them is 14h 37m. Close to the Arctic or Antarctic circle, the year swings hard between long light and long dark.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Tórshavn the sun comes up earliest on 20 June at 03:36, while the latest sunset waits until 24 June at 23:22. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Tórshavn that civil twilight runs about 44 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 66 minutes at the solstice.
Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
