Destination overview

The Faroe Islands are the northernmost kings of ecotourism. Nature-lovers will find more fauna than inhabitants, and bird-watchers will be spoilt for choice. The archipelago is made up of 18 islands, and reaches 2952ft at its highest point. The diverse landscape is dotted with quaint villages whose small houses have colourful facades. The islands boast numerous stunning hiking trails, as well as boat visits to local caves. Faroe Islands means "the sheep islands" in the local dialect, so don't be surprised to encounter many sheep during your trip!

pros

  •  There are not yet too many tourists
  •  Nature, untouched and intact

cons

  •  The climate strongly limits the tourist season
  •  Limited accommodation

Faroe Islands Travel guide

Faroe Islands Holidays in Faroe Islands, All you need to know!

Our Editorial team's advice

The most impressive natural sites are the caves. Along Nolsoy and Hestur, the sea has sculpted huge caverns into the cliffs that sometimes form tunnels. There is only one way to discover them: by boat (excursions are organised regularly departing from Thorshavn). Plan to bring waterproof clothes to combat the seaspray. This said, the experience is extraordinary: eventually you'll arrive at the back of the caves, where the light barely breaks through. The acoustics, however, are incredible; so much so that some concerts have taken place in this very unusual setting.
