## Getting ashore

Ships anchor offshore, and passengers are tendered ashore by zodiac, which takes around 25 minutes. The tender pier is central, close to the town.

## Watch-outs

The weather is cold, windy and changeable, so dress in layers and waterproofs. Tenders can be cancelled in rough seas. Shops and services are limited, and some close early.

## Stanley

Stanley, formerly Port Stanley, is the capital, a small colourful town with the Christ Church Cathedral, the Falklands Museum and the Upland Goose sculptures.

## Battlefields and history

The 1982 battlefields, and the memorials to the lost, are reached by road. Tours cover the sites with a guide.

## Wildlife

Penguins, albatrosses and sea lions are found around the islands. Boat trips and coastal tours go to the colonies in season.

## Food & shopping

Lamb, fish and local dishes are the main foods. The pubs and cafés in town are the easiest choice.

## Money & connectivity

The Falkland pound is at parity with sterling, and sterling and cards are accepted in most places.

## Accessibility & mobility

The tender landing is the main barrier. The town is flat, but the roads are unpaved in places. Ask your operator about accessible vehicles.
