Learn about the history of Stanley and the Falkland Islands at the Falkland Islands Museum, where you will browse among whaling paraphernalia.
On a panoramic drive along Ross Road by motorcoach, you will see the memorial from the war with Argentina in 1982. Your guide will explain why Britain and Argentina went to war in the 20th century to settle, once and for all, a decades-long dispute about ownership of the remote Falkland Islands.
Photograph Government House, where building work began in 1845, but it was 1859 before the first Governor took up residence.
Outside of Port Stanley, enjoy a drive past the local airport and Surf Bay. At Whalebone Cove, you’ll see the hull of the Lady Elizabeth -- a three-masted iron barque from the turn of the 20th century.
