Stanley is the capital of the Falkland Islands and is the usual finishing point for visits.
With a population of 1989 it is the smallest and most remote capital city in the world, in many ways like an English village, but with Government House, a Cathedral and a wide range of amenities and services. The city is built on a north-facing slope to catch the sun throughout the year and looks across Stanley harbour with its wealth of sea-birds and shipping.
