If you’re looking for peace and quiet paired with endless scenic beauty, look no further. Situated between Iceland and Norway, Icelandair’s increased weekly flights make travel from the United States to the Faroe Islands easier and faster than ever.
“Spending three to four days here is a great introduction to the destination,” says Høgni Reistrup, owner of Guide to Faroe Islands. “If you’re staying in the capital, you are never more than one hour away from even the most far-flung corners. People often return to explore more and delve deeper into the places and the serenity.”
Rent a car via Unicar and let Guide to Faroe Islands plan the four-day trip of your dreams. Go on one of dozens of incredible hikes near famous villages like Tjørnuvík, Gjógv, and Saksun. Stay at Hotel Føroyar, the country’s premier hotel, with a new Scandinavian spa house with views over the capital city. And if you can score a reservation, try Faroese food at the newly crowned two Michelin star restaurant, Paz.
