Explore the Faroe Islands

Discover the raw beauty of the Faroe Islands with Tórshavn as your base. Rent a car to explore the islands’ dramatic landscapes.

Immerse yourself in the rugged charm of the Faroe Islands, where dramatic cliffs, emerald-green hills, and crashing waves create a breathtaking landscape. Stay in Tórshavn, the cozy and colorful capital, for your entire trip and venture out to explore the islands by car. This gives you the flexibility to experience the best of what this remote Nordic destination has to offer.

Start your adventure with a stroll through Tórshavn’s historic Tinganes district, known for its red turf-roofed houses and maritime charm. Visit the Nordic House, a cultural hub showcasing Faroese art and traditions, or sample the island’s renowned seafood in one of the city’s acclaimed restaurants.

From Tórshavn, set off on day trips to discover the Faroe Islands’ natural wonders. Drive to Saksun, a fairytale-like village with turf-roofed houses nestled in a serene valley. Nearby, you’ll find Fossá, the islands’ tallest waterfall, cascading down dramatic cliffs.

Explore the island of Vágar, home to the iconic Múlafossur waterfall in the village of Gásadalur. The waterfall tumbles straight into the Atlantic, offering a postcard-perfect view. Vágar also hosts Sørvágsvatn, the optical illusion lake that appears to hover above the ocean—a must-see for photography enthusiasts.

On Eysturoy, the village of Gjógv boasts a natural sea gorge and incredible hiking trails. Climb Slættaratindur, the highest peak in the Faroes, for panoramic views of the surrounding islands. Another highlight is the village of Funningur, where Viking history meets stunning natural beauty.

For bird lovers, head to the island of Mykines, accessible by ferry or helicopter. This remote island is a haven for puffins and other seabirds, with dramatic cliffs offering a spectacular backdrop.

Round off your stay with a visit to Kirkjubøur, the spiritual heart of the Faroes, located just a short drive from Tórshavn. Explore the ruins of Magnus Cathedral and the ancient farmhouse Roykstovan, which has been inhabited for over 17 generations.
