Attractions

Good walkers can explore Stanley easily on foot. Major sites, such as t he cathedral, the museum at Britannia House and the Battle Memorial are included in the organized excursions; they also can be visited on your own. A stroll along a section of the waterfront will show you the hulks of old sailing ships. Key points are marked with interpretive signs.

Shopping

Woven and hand-knit items are key products. The wool comes from the thousands of sheep raised in the Falklands. The Philatelic Bureau located in the Town Hall sells beautiful local postage stamps. Guide books and postcards also are popular souvenirs. Shops are small, getting easily crowded when one or more cruise vessels are in port.

Currency

The local currency is the Falkland pound, on par with the English pound. U.S. dollars are widely accepted, but few shops accept credit cards.
