Its name means "isthmus" in the Faroese language. The city has a population of 669 inhabitants. In the center of the village from 1881 there is a large stone church, which was built in connection with the centenary of the village.In the hills above Toftir is the football stadium, constructed especially for international football competitions. Beyond the stadium further up in the hills is the beautiful lake, Toftavatn. The view from on top affords a good view towards Tórshavn and the surrounding countryside.
