A 40 minute drive south by car will take you to Lerwick - Shetland's capital where you’ll find an award winning museum and archives. There is well stocked library with internet access. Islesburgh Community Centre features Shetland folklore, traditional dance and exhibitions on certain nights. There is the Up-Helly-Aa Exhibition. If music is your scene then several pubs have traditional music nights organised. There are also several good restaurants.
A less than 30 minute drive from Almara will take you to Laxo, Vidlin or Toft, all inter-island ferry terminals where you can go on day trips to the islands of Whalsay, Out Skerries or Yell and then onto Unst and Fetlar.
Visiting other areas on the Mainland of Shetland is well worthwhile, as each district has places of interest and regional leaflets giving details of each area's attractions are available. Travelling around Shetland by public transport is possible - but not always easy.
To see as much as possible of this beautiful islands, I would recommend that if at all possible, you either bring your own car or arrange to hire a car, even if only for a few days while you are here.
