The Faroe Islands

My husband and I really enjoyed the Faroe Islands. We ended up spending six nights at the Hilton Garden Inn in the capital of Torshavn and exploring from there, which worked out great! We spent one night in Klaksvik to see Kelsoy Island where the James Bond Movie "No Time To Die" was filmed. There is a gorgeous hike to the Kallur lighthouse on Kelsoy Island that we took and the views are spectacular, there is even a James Bond Tombstone at the top that was erected after the filming. Stunning scenery everywhere you look! We rented a car and were able to see all the sights. It is a small country and easy to get around.

In the heart of the North Atlantic, the Faroe Islands offer a chance to escape the digital world and reconnect with nature's raw beauty. Home to less than 60,000 inhabitants scattered across 18 islands, the Faroes boast a close-knit community steeped in Viking history and a vibrant cultural identity. While the climate can be unpredictable, these islands still beckon adventurous travelers seeking dramatic scenery and outdoor pursuits. Though summer is peak season, the magic of the Faroes extends into the spring and fall, offering a quieter experience.

Halfway between Norway and Iceland, the sub-Arctic Faroe Islands are visited by just 40,000 people annually. Intrepid travelers who venture to these islands experience raw natural beauty and a modern culture steeped in rich Viking history. You can hike along rugged coastlines, passing quaint villages, to see the spectacular Múlafossur waterfall plunging into the ocean. Embark on boat safaris in search of adorable puffins, or take a surf lesson in one of the northernmost spots in the world. Indoors, you can enjoy traditional Faroese music and the centuries-old chain dance at cultural centers, and even in local pubs if you’re lucky. Dining on Faroese cuisine, you might sample wind-dried mutton in a traditional grass-roofed restaurant. The Faroe Islands' stunning nature and distinct culture offer an unparalleled experience for travelers in search of the wildest spots on Earth.
