Bradt – Faroe Islands

Beskrivelse

Discover the Faroe Islands, a remote Nordic archipelago known for its stunning natural beauty and unique way of life. This guide offers everything you need to explore the islands, from the smallest capital city to breathtaking sea cliffs and vibrant wildlife.

Your ultimate English-language guide to the Faroe Islands’ landscapes, culture, and travel tips.

This fully updated sixth edition of Bradt’s Faroe Islands remains the only English guide dedicated to this untouched Nordic group of islands. Home to Torshavn, the world’s smallest capital, and a place where sheep outnumber people two to one, the Faroes offer a rare glimpse into a lifestyle rapidly vanishing elsewhere in Europe. Fun fact: sheep here were even fitted with cameras to create Google ‘Sheepview’.

Experience nature in its purest form, from Europe’s highest sea cliffs at Enniberg on Vidoy to the dramatic coastal views at Akraberg, the islands’ southernmost tip. The guide covers all 18 islands, including Mykines, with its tiny year-round population of just a few residents.

Written by James Proctor, who has been visiting the Faroes since 1992, this book is widely regarded as the definitive English-language resource on the islands. It offers practical advice on:

• Where to stay and eat, including Torshavn’s stylish new hotels
• How to get around using local ferries, helicopters, hire cars, and buses (including travel card info for reaching remote spots)
• Birdwatching and hiking opportunities
• Updates on air, ferry, and road travel, featuring the world’s only subsea roundabout

With carefully updated accommodation reviews and insider tips, this guide equips you with all the information needed for an unforgettable journey to the Faroe Islands.
