Things to see in The Falkland Islands: Stanley
The islands' capital is located on East Falkland around a picturesque harbour. 80% of the total population of around 2,500 lives in this small, tidy, historic cathedral town, many of whose wooden buildings have brightly painted tin roofs.
A scattering of red telephone boxes and six pubs give it a distinctly British feel. It's a pleasant place to relax for a few days - exploring the town and visiting nearby attractions. There are several places you can walk to, and local guides offer trips to both wildlife and battlefield sites.
