| Introduction |
| Mysteriously remote, the Faroe Islands have exceptional natural beauty and an unrivalled allure for nature lovers. The Faroe Islands have a strong individual identity, their own language and intriguing heritage. A stay in the Faroe Islands as part of your holiday in Iceland, will be remote, exciting and refreshingly different. |

This is one of Europe’s hidden gems. This island nation is brimming with superlatives - Europe's highest cliffs are found here and are home to some of the greatest concentrations of seabirds in the North Atlantic. The terrain is so mountainous and rugged that wherever you go, the ‘wow’ factor is always present. The islands' coastline of over 1100km also comprises a maze of fjords and sheltered bays, while inland, the terrain is mountainous, rugged and profoundly beautiful. The capital city, Torshavn, is among the smallest in the world, but has one of the highest standards of living. The islands have a fascinating history and culture which you can learn about on your break here.
The Faroe Islands are an idyllic location for a holiday, perfect for a romantic getaway, or ideal for a few days simply enjoying nature at it’s best. Imagine walking along rugged coastlines, exploring remote pathways and seeing a host of seabirds amidst spectacular and remote scenery. A short stay in the Faroe Islands will compliment your holiday in Iceland, but shhhh don’t tell everyone about them, because the appeal of these islands is the unspoilt beauty and quaint charm they maintain to this day!
