While Toftir itself is a small village, the best area to stay for most visitors looking for convenience and access to wider Eysturoy attractions is within Toftir or the neighbouring villages of Runavík and Saltangará, which collectively form a small urban cluster along the Skálafjørður fjord.This area is the most developed part of Eysturoy, offering the broadest selection of accommodations, eateries, and shops. The villages are connected by good roads and are close to the Eysturoyartunnilin, making it easy to explore other islands. You'll find a few local shops and cafes, primarily along the main road that connects these villages.Couples looking for a peaceful base with good access to nature and local amenities will find this area suitable. You're well-placed for scenic drives, coastal walks, and exploring the fjord. The proximity to the Eysturoyartunnilin means day trips to Tórshavn or Vágar Island are straightforward.For travellers prioritising a tranquil setting with direct access to coastal views, consider accommodations slightly outside the main village centres, closer to the water's edge.

The best time to visit Toftir is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is mildest and daylight hours are longest.During these months, the average temperatures are around 10-13°C (50-55°F), making it comfortable for exploring the outdoors. You'll experience nearly 19 hours of daylight in mid-summer, which gives you plenty of time for sightseeing and activities. This window is superb for travellers who want to make the most of their visit without the chillier, darker conditions of other seasons.Travellers seeking outdoor activities will find this period ideal. The trails around Toftir and the wider Eysturoy region are more accessible, and boat trips to nearby islands or birdwatching excursions are more consistently available. The longer days mean you can plan extended hikes, such as the path to the Toftavatn lake, or simply enjoy the coastal views without rushing.While summer is generally the most pleasant, those interested in a quieter experience and don't mind cooler temperatures might consider late spring (May) or early autumn (September).
