The capital of the Falklands, with a population of 2,000, is a charming place, consisting of just a few streets of colourful houses, a smattering of red phone boxes, a few lively pubs and a selection of the latest four wheel drives, all set on a gentle slope beside Stanley Harbour.

The compact town can be easily appreciated simply by wandering the streets on foot. From the 1982 Memorial walk along the harbour front, passing the rusting hulks of ships that never made it around treacherous Cape Horn, explore the whimsical Stanley Museum, visit the world鈥檚 most southerly cathedral and stand beneath Whale Bone Arch, made in 1933 from jawbones of two blue whales to celebrate the centenary of continuous British administration.

Pass Jubilee Villas (built to commemorate Queen Victoria鈥檚 Diamond Jubilee), drop into the informative Visitors' Centre, then explore Cartmell Cottage, one of the earliest residential buildings in Stanley, which was built in 1849 from a kit sent from Britain.

Accommodation

For accommodation in Stanley we recommend either the Malvina House Hotel or the cosy bed and breakfast The Waterfront.
