Faroe Islands

The Faroe Islands , or the archipelago belonging to Denmark, is one of the most magical places on the map of Europe. And so the "sheep" in the name did not come about by accident. In fact, a lot of these animals live there. It is estimated that there are twice as many of them as … people. Their number is controlled by records made many centuries ago, because exceeding it could shake the delicate ecosystem of the islands.

The landscape of the archipelago is dominated by hills, vast meadows, meandering roads and practically no trees. These simply would not be able to survive due to the weather conditions prevailing here. The main administrative center of the Faroe Islands is the city of Thorshavn, located on the island of Streymoy. However, it is nature that attracts tourists there, and the views are simply breathtaking. But the Faroe Islands are also an ideal destination for a slightly more active vacation. Despite the often capricious weather.

For whom?

If you are not afraid of rains (in the Faroe Islands it can rain 280 days a year), you should be able to appreciate the natural beauty of the archipelago. It is definitely a good destination for fans of hiking, cycling and road trips. The Faroe Islands is also a unique opportunity to get to know the fascinating and somewhat closed Faroese culture.
