Tvoroyri lies picturesque on the north side of the Trongisvagsfjordur-inlet on the east coast of Suduroy.

The ferry from Torshavn calls at Drelnes that is located on the opposite side of the inlet. The trip from Torshavn to Tvoroyri takes 2 hours. The ferry is large and if the weather is nice the trip is beautiful. It is possible to go by bus from the harbour of Drelnes to Tvoroyri and all other villages on the island.

In the centre of Tvoroyri, just above the harbour, is a hotel called Hotel Tvoroyri.

Between the harbour and the hotel lies a square covered by flat stones. Fish used to be dried in the sun here. The Royal Trade Monopoly that had a branch here from 1836 to 1856 built the old houses in the area. The village of Tvoroyri was actually founded due to this branch.

When the monopoly was abolished in 1856 private companies were founded on Tvøroyri. One of these grew into the largest in the Faroe Islands. It had 20 branches and 30 ships.
