The Faroe Islands are beautiful in a very Scandinavian way – they’re not comforting or luxurious, but have this wild, untamed natural beauty.
You don’t have to worry about crowds when you visit Faroe Islands. The archipelago of 18 islands which forms Faroe Islands have a total population of around 50,000—a drop in the bucket compared to Nordic neighbors Sweden and Norway or tourist-heavy Iceland, which saw 2 million visitors in 2019 (American visitors alone already outnumber the locals). In fact, the sheep outnumber humans nearly 2:1
One of the main reasons that people visit the Faroe Islands is the incredible nature and scenery. The Faroe Islands turn extraordinarily green during the summertime. The fresh air, the deep blue ocean, the vertical sea cliffs and the green mountains with their picturesque valleys, is something which would amaze anyone who enjoys being surrounded by nature. For generations the locals have lived off the land and the animals that are on the islands as not much grows in this climate.
Tórshavn, the capital, is so pretty. It’s like a picture in a children’s book, with cobbled streets and hills and small red houses with white-painted windows. And the ocean is everywhere: you can go and stand on a cliff and feel the waves’ power or just walk out into incredible nature so close to town.
The tranquillity of the islands is great if you want to escape from big city madness. The Faroese love to take things easy and are not at all worried about arriving on time. But if you ever find yourself in the mood for a night out in town, you will find that Tórshavn caters for your every need with its great shops, bars, cafés and restaurants.
Because the islands are so close to the Arctic Circle, the amount of daylight varies by season. The sun sets briefly each night in June, so there are several hours of twilight, before the sun comes back up again. During the winter there are no days of complete darkness, but about five hours of daylight.
The Faroese tourist season is very short. It begins in May and ends by September. Most visitors come between July and August by far. If you would like to avoid the busiest season, it is best to visit the Faroes in late May or early June. The Faroese weather has its own temperament and is a lot like the weather in neighboring regions, just more unpredictable.

Why Visit Faroe Islands?
- Nature: The Faroe Islands has unique scenery
A combination of hard rocks, velvety green grass, and dramatic waterfalls. A stunning picture painted in green and blue colours, where your eyes can stretch from the top of a mountain over the endless surrounding ocean at any one time.
- The Island Culture
The Faroe Islands are remote and isolated, and so the ocean has served as a great defense against dilution of the islands’ original culture. There are many wonderful examples of the original culture. For instance, the national costume and the language rooted in the Nordic languages – but a very unique language in its own right.
- The Authenticity
As a traveller you can experience the same food, drink the same coffee and buy the same brands as in the same concept stores in most of the world. But as many destinations seem to be getting more alike, the contrast to the Faroe Islands becomes even greater.
There is no predetermined route, no fence to stand behind and no plastic signs telling you what to see and feel. Absorbing reality, as it is in the Faroe Islands, almost forces you to look within yourself to discover who YOU really are.
- The Remoteness
The Faroe Islands may be close in distance but are far, far from everyday life. Far from stressful obligations. Far from traffic jams and crowds. Far from normality and everyday routines.
- The Involvement
It is often said that the Faroe Islands have no tourists – only guests. People are welcoming and open, and nature invites everyone to participate. The nature is not just something you look at. It’s a place for being – for hiking, angling, diving, sailing and absorbing.
ACCOMMODATION:
Hotels in various shapes and sizes are found on most islands in the Faroe Islands, ranging from luxurious 4-star hotels to comfortable and simple lodgings. There are no 5-star hotels, however.
The vast majority of hotels are located in the capital, Tórshavn. Other locations include Runavík, Skálavík, Vágar Airport, Klaksvík, Vágur, and Tvøroyri.
Many of the hotels in the smaller towns and villages, where the population is sometimes only a few dozen people, are small.
BOOK HOTELS EARLY
Many hotels are fully booked during the summer. It is, therefore, a good idea to book your hotel stay as quickly as possible, especially if you are visiting between May and August.
The newest hotel in the Faroe Islands is a city hotel in Tórshavn, the capital, called Hotel Hilton Garden Inn. It opened in October 2020 and is classified as a 4-star, superior hotel.

the impressive countryside.
EXPERIENCES:
DINNING WITH THE FARMERS:
Try a traditional Faroese lamb meal while dining in the home of farmers Anna and Óli.
The Faroese phrase “heimablídni” translates directly as “home hospitality”. Anna and Óli offer authentic and intimate dining experiences in their own dining room, serving traditional homemade Faroese food mostly grown on their own farm.
This underground restaurant offers you the opportunity to sample new food, often dissimilar to the food usually served in restaurants, in a personal environment that will give you a proper taste of Faroese culture.
Sometimes a perfect stranger is the best dinner host.

HORSE RIDING:
THE FAROESE HORSE
The Faroese horse, called føroyska rossið in Faroese, has wandered in the rugged landscape of the windswept islands for over a thousand years. DNA analysis has shown that the Faroese breed is unique, not found anywhere else in the world.
But not long ago, the Faroese horse was nearly extinct. In 1960, there were only a handful of the beautiful, robust Faroese horses left – a drastic decline from the nearly 800 horses that roamed the islands a century and a half earlier. To prevent the extinction of the Faroes horse, people joined forces around this time and started breeding the one stallion and four mares that were left. Today, there are 74 Faroese horses, approximately 125 horses short of the number needed for the race to be considered safe.
Fjallaross is the only company in the Faroe Islands that lets you ride a Faroese Pony in the wild Faroese Nature. Let detailed knowledge about this ancient Faroese horse-breed blow you away and immerse yourself in the fascinating history surrounding it.
They believe in keeping the ponies in their natural habitat and interfere as little with their physique as possible. This is why at Fjallaross you will be riding on “bare-back” (without saddles) and learn that the ponies can thrive without the use of horseshoes.
FISHING & ANGLING:
The Faroe Islands are synonymous with fish. Without this natural resource, one could argue that the first settlers would have found it incredibly difficult to settle on these remote North Atlantic islands. Faroe Islanders have fished for centuries, and fishing still plays an essential role in the community. You could say that fishing is what we do best, and we’re happy to have you join in!
Whether by boat or from shore, there are plenty of opportunities to fish in the Faroe Islands. With the ocean never further than 5 km away – no matter where you’re located – it is effortless to grab a rod and go fishing whenever you want.
The Faroe Islands have good fishing areas and sheltered fishing grounds away from strong winds, making it possible to fish most days regardless of wind direction. The two main types of fishing in the Faroe Islands are deep-sea fishing and fly fishing.
Fishing and angling in the Faroe Islands is unlike anything you have experienced before; the beautiful scenery and splendid tranquillity makes fishing a truly extraordinary experience.

ADVENTURE SPORTS
The Faroe Islands aren’t just ideal relaxing and taking your mind off things – they’re also the perfect playground for adventure sports of all sorts!
Try kayaking in the ocean, cliff jumping, rappelling, snorkeling, speed boating and much more.
GROTTO CONCERT:

Go with a fast going RIB boat into a grotto to experience a live concert. Every concert is unique because of nature’s participation. There may be so quiet that you can hear the birds participating, while other times the heavy beating of the waves spin in. The natural sounds and unique acoustics of the grottos become an integral part of the music.
This is once ina lifetime concert experience, and will leave you stunned by the unforgettable grotto concert.
HIKING:
You’ll find that once you get off the beaten path on foot, the mountains and valleys will open up for you in marvellous and unexpected ways.
A short hike into the mountains affords numerous vantage points that overlook awe-inspiring peaks in one direction and the dishevelled surface of the ocean in another. One of the many special features of the Faroe Islands is that you don’t have to go far to experience magnificent and untouched nature. Look around you. Take a few steps. Take a deep breath and listen. It’s all right there!
SAILING:
The 18 islands of the Faroe Islands are surrounding by the North Atlantic ocean. No point in the Faroe Islands is further than five kilometres from the ocean. Sailing is a fantastic way to experience the beautiful landscapes of the islands, offering completely different views compared to the ones from land.
You can discover these views of the Faroe Islands by sea while sailing with ships, boats or even an old schooner. Some of these ships or schooners are old and have a great history, making the journey even more interesting.
BICYCLING:
More and more people are choosing to explore the Faroe Islands from the saddle on their bicycle. It’s no wonder why, considering the spectacular beauty one can see from the roads, mountains and valleys.
The infrastructure in the Faroe Islands is excellent, with all islands accessible either by sub-sea tunnels, bridges or ferries. This, combined with low volume traffic on most roads, makes bicycling in the Faroe Islands a pleasurable experience.

HELICOPTER:

Faroe Islands from above is a unique experience, which will take you on a tour to see the rugged and dramatic islands in the wild Atlantic Ocean from a different perspective.
This will most certainly make you feel a very special rush and a kick of adrenaline. Atlantic Airways has a helicopter charter service offering their two Augusta Westland 139 helicopters from 2015.
HELICOPTER Atlantic Airways has 2 helicopters, but only one of them can be used for “transport” the other is for Search and Rescue operations only.
RENT A HOT TUB AND SAUNA:



If the mountain will not come to the hot tub and sauna, the hot tub and sauna go to the mountain! You can Rent a portable wellness rig with a jolly Jacuzzi and a sudatory shaped as an old oak barrel. To an abandoned village? To some hill with a view? To your own hidden bay?
It consists of a trailer with a hot tub and sauna. This portable paradise is about enjoying life in the Faroese nature. The company RIB62 brings and heat up the tub and sauna at noon and come to collect the trailer 22 hours later. Their daily rental includes wood fuel and gas.
DINING IN THE FAROE ISLANDS
Dried fish and fermented lamb, sheep head and fresh salmon, burgers and pizza – Faroese cuisine has it all and more!
One of the great joys of travelling to new places is experiencing the country’s food culture. Faroese dining certainly doesn’t disappoint, offering a vast array of dishes, ranging from the very traditional to food influenced by foreign cultures.
Traditional Faroese dishes more often than not include meat, fish and potatoes. These main ingredients are prepared and served in a variety of ways.
TRY FAROESE FOOD
If you’re looking at trying traditional Faroese food (fermented lamb and fish, rye bread, blood sausage and stewed rhubarb), check out the new restaurant, Ræst (the Faroese word for “fermentation”).
Other excellent restaurants that serve Faroese produce include Barbara Fish House, Katrina Christiansen, Áarstova and 2-star Michelin restaurant, KOKS.
Places like Angus Steakhouse, Italian-inspired Toscana and Restaurant Hafnia serve great steaks.
For vegan/vegetarian eaters, check out this guide to eating in the Faroe Islands.
Cafés line the streets of Tórshavn and are found in most of the larger villages. Good cafés include Brell, Kaffihúsið, Gómagott, Kafé Umami, and Kafé Kaspar in Tórshavn, Jacqson and Café Fríða in Klaksvík, Café Fjørðoy in Sørvágur, Kafé Mormor in Tvøroyri and Café Cibo in Saltangará. Check out the Faroes’ only juice bar at No 12.
Globalisation has, inevitably, brought fast food to the Faroe Islands. Try City Burger and Burger King in Tórshavn or Smiðjan in Miðvágur to whet those salty taste buds.
The Faroe Islands offer one sushi restaurant, but when the produce is that good, who needs any more than one? Etika combines fresh Faroese seafood with foreign expertise to produce magnificent sushi dishes – some calling it the best sushi in the world!
BEER TASTING:
There are two beer breweries in the Faroe Islands. One in the smaller village of Velbastaður just outside Tórshavn. The other one is in the second largest city called Klaksvík. Both breweries offer beer tasting, a great activity after the adrenaline incentive, or before going to dinner in the evening.
The brewery in Klaksvík is called Føroya Bjór (1888), Faroese Beer. The brewery close to the capital is called Okkara (2009), Our Beer. Both breweries use of course the freshest Faroese water to produce their beers.
SIGHTSEEING:
The Faroe Islands hold numerous options when it comes to sightseeing. The different islands are rich in experiences, all in their own way. Great nature, waterfalls, high cliffs,
mountains and cosy villages are to be experienced.
But to make it easy for you. I have curated a suggestive 6 days itinerary as below:

You arrive by airplane to Vágar airport about 45 minutes from the
capital Tórshavn.
Dinner suggestion: Famous lambhouse Áarstova in Tórshavn. Classic Faroese cuisine in an authentic location in the old part of Tórshavn.

After the drive to Gásadalur, we top and go on a short guided hike from the village Miðvágur to the end of the lake Sørvágsvatn, also known as the lake above the ocean
for breath-taking views of the islands, with Koltur in the front. The hike is estimated to 1.5 – 2 hours roundtrip.

Dinner suggestion: Michelin restaurant Koks**. At the heart of KOKS is the culinary coquetry of Poul Andrias Ziska. As KOKS’ head chef he masters the artistry of distilling taste and smell from the Faroese landscape, combining them in exquisite dishes. The palate is local, uncompromisingly Faroese.
