Souvenirs and handcraft Faroe Islands

 Shopping

Like Wales or New Zealand, the Faroe islands have more sheep than people (about two sheep per person!) and the wool they produce (the sheep, not the people...) is of excellent quality. A special treatment makes the wool waterproof, thus perfectly adapted to the climate. Stock up on quality jumpers, hats and socks; you will certainly have the opportunity to use them while on holiday here! Seeing as the Faroe Islands are not part of the European Union, you can reclaim VAT (25%) on purchases exceeding 300 FOK (£33). Fill in the relevant form (available from affiliated shops) and have it validated at the airport. Shops are open from 9:00a.m to 17:30p.m.
