4. Gypsy Cove

It is a relative short bus ride from downtown to Gypsy Cove for you to enjoy the sights. You will see a number of penguins as well a number of other birds, and sea life - if you travel in by Cruise ship, you will see your ship anchored in the bay as well. It is well worth the modest bus ticket cost to walk and see Gypsy Cove.

According to the Port Stanley Tourist Board, Christ Church is the most southerly Anglican cathedral in the world, and was consecrated in 1892 by the first Bishop of the Falkland Islands, Waite Hockin Stirling. This historic building features a cathedral tower with a ring of five bells, 19th and 20th-century stained glass windows and a two manual pipe organ built in Ireland. In addition, there are also locally-stitched needlepoint hassocks with scenes relating to the church and life on the Islands along with a collection of historic memorabilia. When open, you can visit at no charge, though a donation towards the maintenance of the building is highly recommended.
6. 1982 Liberation Memorial

Reviewed By Boiywlad - Stanley, Falkland Islands
No visit to the Falkland Islands and its capital Stanley would be complete without visiting the 1982 memorial. Easy access and on the sea front pretty much in the centre of Stanley. Well maintained and a fitting memorial to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in liberating these islands from illegal occupation in 1982.
7. Falkland Islands Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 370 reviews
The national museum of the Falklands! Celebrating the cultural heritage of the Falkland Islands, this large and modern museum complex is the one Stanley attraction that you will not want to miss. With five themed galleries (social, maritime and natural history, the 1982 war, Gateway to Antarctica) and several small outbuildings which includes the Smithy & Gearshed, the complex also features a speciality coffee and chocolate shop. All less than 5 minutes easy walk from the Jetty Visitors Centre/landing stage.

The Falklands tourist information office told us that one hour was enough to visit the museum but we could have spent a few hours. Lots of interesting stuffs about the history of the Falkland Islands: discovery and colonisation by the different European countries, whale hunting and natural history, current removing of the war mines and other anecdotes about the life style on the islands through the ages. A must see for people lucky enough to stay a few days on the islands.
8. Whalebone Arch

Reviewed By Amjar1 - Lakeville, United States
The arch was constructed in 1933 from the jawbones of two blue whales to commemorate the centenary of continuous British administration in the Falklands. It is within easy walking distance of the cruise ship terminal in Port Stanley, and is definitely worth a quick stop for a photo.
