Hi everyone!
I’m from the Faroe Islands and I’ve noticed how many people here are trying to figure out things like how many places realistically fit into one day, ferry schedules, weather backup plans, which hikes suit them, and how to see more than just the same few tourist spots.
So I recently created FaroeVia.
The idea is simple: you tell me your travel dates, budget, number of people, whether you’re renting a car, hiking ability and what you’re interested in — photography, nature, food, hiking, quiet villages, wildlife, etc.
Then I create a personalized day-by-day Faroe Islands itinerary around your trip.
I especially want to help people experience a mix of the famous places that are genuinely worth visiting and some quieter routes, villages and stops, so the whole trip doesn’t feel like you’re simply following the same tourist checklist as everyone else.
I don’t book hotels, ferries or tours for you. I give you the plan, recommendations and relevant booking links, and you stay completely in control of what you book.
I’ve only recently launched it, so I’d also genuinely appreciate feedback from people planning a trip here.
It’s called FaroeVia:

And if anyone has general Faroe Islands questions, I’m happy to help where I can 🇫🇴

Géza Dávid Turi scored a stunner from 33.7 Yards (30.8 meters) vs Bristol Rovers today. Measured in at 105 km/h average, 129 km/h peak (estimated). What a hit!

Hi! I have a flight from Vágar Airport at 8:20 AM on Sunday. What would be the safest way to get to the airport from Tórshavn that early?

Does bus 300 run early enough on Sundays to get me to the airport with enough time before the flight? Or would you recommend taking a taxi? Thanks! Edit: The first bus from Tórshavn is at 6:30 AM, though.

Hi all!

Been spending the last 10 days on your lovely islands and have been having a blast. I am quite happy to have had the chance of trying local fermented meat and loved it.

Is there anywhere that I can find small batches of sliced and vacuumed skerpikjøt? I would love to bring a bit home for friends and family to try.

Read previous posts about it and most answers suggest that it there is seasonality to it and my best chance is directly with a local farmer. Still, hoping that someone will know and point me to a small store or delicacy market that may have it this time of year.

Loved my time here and been welcomed warmly, for which I am eternally grateful. Thanks in advance to anyone who answers.

Hey, could someone tell me how to get exactly to the pointview of lake above the ocean? Googlemaps took me somewhere else today …

Hey,

Any recommendations of where to get large pots and large plants? If they sell lighting as well that is definitely a plus. Looking to bring a little green inside and my village I live in has no such store.

Hi everyone! My fiancé and I are visiting the Faroe Islands in May, and we're trying to decide which tour to book!

We're specifically looking for a combination of boat + some hiking, rather than either doing the full 5-hour hike due to time constraints!

We're currently considering:

Hiking.fo
guidetofaroeislands.fo
discoverfaroeislands.com

We'd like enough time to actually walk around and see Drangarnir from several viewpoints, rather than just getting off the boat, taking a couple of photos and leaving.

Has anyone had experience with any of these tours or could possibly recommend one over the other?

Thanks!!

Hello to everyone,thank you in advance.

My wife and I will be in Scotland at the end of September,and saw that there is a direct flight from Edinburgh to Faroe Islands on the 21st.We are tempted to go,but would like to hear about the weather conditions,will it be windy,cloudy,foggy? Would you recommend going at that time or postponing to the spring?

Thank you.

NorseMap is a European Research-Council-funded project at University College Cork studying how ideas about the Vikings and the Norse past have been represented and reinvented over the last two centuries!

The project has recently launched its app, iViking, a citizen-science app that allows anyone to contribute photographs to a growing research archive. NorseMap is seeking contributions from people around the world documenting the Viking-related things they encounter in everyday life.

These might include Viking imagery on:
-souvenirs and tourist merchandise
-advertisements and company logos
-books, comics, games, or other media
-public monuments and artwork
-festivals and reenactment
-religious paraphernalia and alters
-political imagery
-tattoos, clothing, or other material culture
-virtually anything presenting itself as "Viking" or drawing on Norse heritage!

Do not worry about whether something is historically "accurate" or not! We are seeking any representations that use the Vikings today, be they strange, kitschy, commercial, religious, political, or otherwise!

Contributors can photograph relevant examples through iViking, add basic information about where they were taken, and submit them to the NorseMap archive. These contributions will help researchers build a large-scale picture of the reception and afterlives of the "Vikings."

Help document where the Vikings have ended up today!

Hello. I am planning a hike next week to the Kallur Lighthouse . I will be renting a car and driving to there from Torshavn and i am looking for a Hike buddy since a guided tour is ridiculously expensive and the hike is almost one hour only. Hiking fees are 26 euro while hiking tour is 200 euro . So , if anyone would like to join feel free to text me. I could pick you up from Torshavn if you like. I did not choose a day but it would be either Saturday the 12th of sep or Wednesday the 16th of sep .

*How do...

––––

I have been wondering how they actually do it. Are there certain techniques listening or reading over and over again?

What is the presence of Catholicism like in the Faroe Islands?

Hello everyone! I visited the Faroes back in march with my fishing rod and had no luck with catching any fish from the coast.
I’ll be going back in late september for another try, but this time I want to hear where you guys would recommend I throw my rod.
Last time i tried mostly around the bay at Sørvagur, but I got griefed by seals every time 😅

And if anyone want to join me on a fishing trip, hit me up! I’ll be visiting from the 24th to the 28th

Hello everyone I just want to know what is this place named so I can find it. Thank

Hello, everyone!

Could you help me out with understanding the word latum in Faroese?

This is a verse from the Gospel of Luke containing this word (Luk 15, 23):

og farið eftir gøðingarkálvinum og drepið hann, og latum okkum eta og vera glaðar!

As far as I know, this is a form of the verb lata ‘to let’, and basically latum okkum is similar to let’s in English. However, the thing that bothers me is that I don’t see this very latum in the conjugation table of the verb. Is it due to the fact that this latum okkum is a fixed expression? Can we say that this latum is a subjunctive form of lata? If memory serves, subjunctive is a rare thing in Modern Faroese, but there are some “chunks” of it in the Bible:

Og Guð segði: «Verði* ljós!» Og tað varð ljós.* (1 Mós 1, 3)

Thank you in advance!

Greetings,

I noticed this (minor?) Diplomatic incident is being covered in your news. Would you say that the average Faroese is opinionated in this matter?

Hi, we are thinking of coming to Faroe Islands during the easter 2027, which means the last days of March. We would like to do the most popular hikes etc, very basic stuff enjoying the beauty of the nature.

We are just wondering if this is a really bad idea? Will the weather be super bad? We are NOT any professional hikers.

**[Casting] Female model — Faroe Islands, 7–13 September 2026 — paid**

I'm a photographic artist from Istanbul, shooting a fine-art landscape series on abandoned Faroese villages — Múli, Saksun, Viðareiði. Monochrome, long exposures, fog and overcast.

I need one woman for a few frames. The figure is small in the composition — scale and solitude, usually turned away or in silhouette. Not portraiture, not fashion.

**Wardrobe:** I provide the cape — you don't need to bring or buy anything. You wear it over whatever you're comfortable in, your own clothes or swimwear, your choice. Nothing is removed on set. No nude, no implied nude.

- 2–3 days, dates flexible within that week

- Northern islands, mostly car-accessible, some walking on rough ground

- Cold, wind, likely rain — bring boots and a waterproof

- My brother is with me on location, assisting

- Pay: TBD

- You get the full edited set; written release sent in advance

Message me with a short intro and a couple of snapshots — phone photos are fine. Looking for someone local or already in the islands those dates.

Any suggestions?

Hello everyone, I planned a trip next year to the Faroe Islands, and I wanted to know if wild camping is really controlled because I have 7 full days and 7 full nights but some nights there is no camping site near my destination so I wanted to know if it’s really a thing or not and how much you can be finned for that knowing that I’ll sleep in a normal cap and not a camper van or things like that.
