Kirkwall caters well for its visitors with an array of quality shops selling a range of local products. The coffee shops are close by and coffee is tasty. There a lot of things to see as you wander through the town. The Cathedral dominates the town and is full of history alongside the bishops and earls house.
However there is so much more to explore outwith Kirkwall if you are interested in Neolithic structures, naval warfare history or the wonderful sights of nature.

A visit to Kirkwall Church is beautiful & full of history the place is so calming when you enter those huge church doors. This is my 2nd visit Orkney loved it.
They have quaint streets dating back to 1200's or more but with the Lidl, Tesco + Co-op supermarkets you can get all you need at these stores. We went to excellent restaurant The Ayre Hotel for fish & chips + seafood platter it was excellent + staff were excellent very friendly we are from Catering too it was great good !!

A place combining plenty of history of different periods (we went on a fantastic trike trip (https://orkneytriketours.co.uk/) - great experience, visiting the Italian Chapel, standing stones and Scara Brae. The town itself has a 12-century cathedral, historical ruins, and museums, including the wireless communications museum, which was created and is being run by enthusiasts. There are also different daily art groups at Gallery 25 (https://www.facebook.com/Number25Kirkwall/?locale=en_GB) which we enjoyed joining. And the local English is very melodic - it is a pleasure listening to it! I can't say we discovered the fantastic seafood, but there is a lovely shop, The Brig Larder (https://www.jollysoforkney.co.uk/pages/the-brig-larder, one can also order local delicacies to be delivered) - again with lovely staff and a good selection of locally sourced dairy, cheese, seafood and preserves.

Kirkwall is a beautiful little city.
Kirkwall is a beautiful little city. I came for the incredible Neolithic history and to search for family ties in the area. There are many jewelry shops as well as artists studios and tweed or wool shops. The museum is also fantastic. It’s a fibre artist’s dream.
The house was lovely and had everything we needed. A home away from home. Great location, very central and just what we needed for visiting family. Loved the little touches like the blankets, hairdryer, menus in the kitchen etc, and having a washing machine to use was amazing.
We found Castleyards Apartments 2 was a very welcome place to come into. We had the privacy that we needed after staying at Hotels for part of our journey. It was like having a home away from home. We also enjoyed to use it as a base to go sight seeing from.
Location was the primary reason I booked this hotel, as we were coming off of the ferry late at night. Our room was ready for us, and everything was beautifully seamless! The night staff were so helpful - we were even able to do some laundry there.
In the apartments we had access to a fridge, sitting room, and a mini kitchen making it possible to cook in the room. The restaurant has great food, and the staff is friendly. The location is great, because it is very central.
The hosts made us feel at home. My son had a great time playing in the yard with the kids. The hosts are native to Orkney so have a lot of knowledge to share. They run tours as well so highly recommend booking with them.
The apartment is lovely and modern with everything you need for a perfect stay in Kirkwall, great location with good access to pubs and bars and restaurants. We had a lovely time everything you could ask for.
Great location in Kirkwall. Lovely and clean house with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Great shower, warm and cosy, lovely spacious living space and kitchen/dining space.
