A guide to the Faroe Islands is always helpful, especially if it’s your first visit. Nestled in between the tip of Scotland and Iceland, this tiny island nation is one of Europe’s most picturesque countries to explore.<\/p>\n

The Faroe Islands<\/a> may well look a million miles away, but it’s a lot closer (and more accessible) than you might think. \ud83c\udfd4<\/p>\n

This small archipelago feels like one of Europe’s most untouched and isolated nations (which, If I’m honest, just adds to its incredible charm).<\/p>\n

Only a few hours by air from cities like Copenhagen and Edinburgh, there’s every reason why you should consider the Faroe Islands for your next European adventure!<\/p>\n

\"Arrival<\/a><\/p>\n

First things first, any guide to the Faroe Islands needs to include packing tips!<\/p>\n

Packing for the Faroe Islands can be a relatively daunting prospect… okay, in the grand scheme of life, it’s no moving house scenario – but it can be a quite unnerving to know what you need to take.<\/p>\n

There’s a number of ways to arrive at the Faroe Islands, each with their own benefit.<\/p>\n

1.) Flying: <\/strong>It’s the fastest and most efficient way to arrive, Atlantic Airways offers direct flights from cities like Edinburgh<\/a>, Scotland and Copenhagen<\/a>, Denmark. It’s likely that if you are flying you’ll be connecting in one of these cities if that’s the case I’d definitely recommend a few days to visit Edinburgh<\/a> or Copenhagen<\/a> too. It’s a great way to plan a city and nature holiday that allows you to make the most of your time in a departing city.<\/p>\n

2.) Boat: <\/strong>You can also arrive in the Faroe Islands by boat (this can be accompanied as part of a longer cruise of Nordic countries or a trip to Iceland. The only thing to be aware of is that under rough seas the ferry may not be able to dock.<\/p>\n

Guide to the Faroe Islands: How to get around<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There isn’t a train service in the Faroe Islands, so if you can drive, or can at least convince a lovely friend to, rent a car!  It’s the easiest and most economical way to explore the islands. Car rental can be picked up from the airport and the roads are in perfect condition (with some pretty epic sea tunnels connecting the islands too).<\/p>\n
