About Faroe Islands

The Faroe Islands are an archipelago and autonomous region of Denmark, situated between the Norwegian Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, halfway between Norway and Iceland. Although offering an unpredictable climate, the 18 Faroe Islands have a rugged beauty comprising steep cliffs, green mountains and areas of unspoilt nature, making them a hiker’s paradise. You can even dive in the crystal clear water, or, if you’re particularly adventurous, take advantage of the excellent surf breaks during the winter months. There are also many fascinating museums giving a detailed insight into the Faroe’s exciting history, featuring various artefacts dating from the Viking Age to the 19th Century. The main port can be found in the capital and largest city, Torshavn, where you can sail to the north Danish coast, making the Faroe Islands a useful gateway to mainland Europe.
