Faroe Islands

A self-governing Danish archipelago in the North Atlantic, known for steep sea cliffs, waterfalls, puffins and changeable weather.

The Faroe Islands lie in the North Atlantic between Iceland, Norway and Scotland, made up of 18 main islands, and are a self-governing territory of the Kingdom of Denmark. The capital, Tórshavn, has an old town of turf-roofed houses; the Múlafossur waterfall and the "floating lake" optical illusion on Vágar and the puffins of Mykines are classic sights. The islands are linked by tunnels, bridges and ferries, which makes them well suited to a self-drive trip. Summer, with long days and relatively mild weather, is the best season, though it is foggy and rainy all year. Vágar Airport is the main gateway, and there are also ferries from Denmark.
