Complete travel guide to Faroe Islands. Handpicked places including waterfalls, mountain roads, thermal springs, UNESCO sites, scenic drives and hidden gems. All with GPS coordinates.
The water falls free. Straight off the cliff edge and into the Atlantic Ocean. 30 metres of free fall while waves crash below. Múlafossur at Gásadalur is the Faroe Islands' calling card — and it looks even wilder in person than in photos.
GPS: 62.1075, -7.4358
A lake floating above the ocean. Sørvágsvatn sits 30 metres above the Atlantic, but from the Trælanípa cliff it looks like the lake is hovering on top of the waves. The Faroe Islands' most famous optical illusion — and the hike up is as wild as the view.
GPS: 62.0500, -7.1833
70 people, grass-roofed houses and a view that stops your heart. From Bøur you see the Drangarnir sea stacks and Tindhólmur's five peaks rising from the waves like a petrified dragon. The Faroe Islands' most photographed panorama — from a village most people drive past.
GPS: 62.0706, -7.3706
Five peaks rise from the sea like a petrified spine. Tindhólmur is uninhabited, inaccessible and utterly impossible to forget. The island looks like a dragon that fell asleep in the middle of the Atlantic — and it has looked this way for thousands of years.
GPS: 62.0775, -7.4325
Two rocks alone in the Atlantic. The larger one has a natural arch going straight through — a gate of basalt with ocean on both sides. Behind them, Tindhólmur's five peaks rise. This is the Faroe Islands' most surreal scenery, and you can sail right through.
GPS: 62.0753, -7.4144
A runestone from the 1200s stands inside the church porch. The inscription is in Old Norse — the language the Vikings spoke. Sandavágur church is the Faroe Islands' oldest place of worship, and the runestone is the only evidence that Vikings once left their mark here.
GPS: 62.0539, -7.1516
The puffins sit so close you nearly step on them. Mykines is the Faroe Islands' westernmost island — a green cliff in the Atlantic where thousands of seabirds breed on the ledges. The hike across the island to the lighthouse on Mykineshólmur is 2 hours of pure, raw nature.
GPS: 62.1019, -7.6386
A village at the bottom of a crater. Saksun lies hidden behind mountains on all sides — only the sea finds its way in through a narrow opening at low tide. Grass-turf roofs, an old church from 1858, and a lagoon that empties and fills with the tide. It feels like the end of the world.
GPS: 62.2536, -7.1797
The boat sails beneath cliffs rising 450 metres straight from the sea. Thousands of birds scream from the ledges. Waves crash into caves so deep the light disappears. The Vestmanna cliffs are the Faroe Islands' wildest boat trip — and it's not for those with a nervous stomach.
GPS: 62.1500, -7.0833
The Faroe Islands' highest road ends at a radar station in the clouds. 749 metres above sea level, and the road up is so narrow two cars can barely pass. On clear days you see the entire archipelago from the top. In fog you see nothing — and that's almost even wilder.
GPS: 62.0833, -6.8333
140 metres in two cascades. Fossá is the Faroe Islands' tallest waterfall — and it falls from a mountainside so green it looks like a film set. The water plunges between two basalt layers and vanishes into a valley so quiet you can hear every single drop.
GPS: 62.2028, -6.9500
The cultural heart of the Faroe Islands. Kirkjubøur was a bishop's seat for 900 years — and the Magnus Cathedral from the 1300s was never finished. The walls still stand. Roykstovan, the 900-year-old smoke house, is the world's oldest inhabited wooden building. The same family has lived here for 17 generations.
GPS: 61.9561, -6.7936
The world's oldest parliament met here. Tinganes — a narrow peninsula in Tórshavn harbour with red wooden houses and grass-turf roofs. The Vikings started their assembly here around 900 AD. The Faroese parliament still resides on the promontory. More than 1,100 years of unbroken democracy.
GPS: 62.0097, -6.7714
The world's smallest capital with a heart that beats like a big city. Tórshavn has 14,000 inhabitants, colourful timber houses, the Nordics' best restaurants and an old town with grass-turf roofs that have stood here since the 1600s. Named after Thor — the god of thunder.
GPS: 62.0103, -6.7742
Black sand, crashing waves and two petrified trolls on the horizon. Tjørnuvík is the Faroe Islands' wildest beach — framed by vertical mountains with a view of the Risin og Kellingin sea stacks. Surfers love it. Everyone else holds their breath.
GPS: 62.2856, -6.9786
The Giant and the Witch. Two sea stacks that legend says are a troll and his wife from Iceland, turned to stone when the morning sun hit them. Risin is 71 metres tall, Kellingin 69. They've stood here for millennia — two lonely figures in the Atlantic.
GPS: 62.3000, -6.9667
A natural harbour carved by the sea into the cliff face. Gjógv is named after the 200-metre gorge that cuts into the basalt like an axe through wood. Above the gorge sits the village — 49 people, a football pitch on the edge of nothing, and a view that never ends.
GPS: 62.3250, -6.9411
One side of the football pitch is a cliff edge with a 100-metre drop to the Atlantic. Eiði's pitch is the world's wildest — and from the stands you can see Risin og Kellingin keeping watch from the sea. No ball boy. The ball just disappears.
GPS: 62.2989, -7.0875
880 metres. The roof of the Faroe Islands. From the top of Slættaratindur you see all 18 islands scattered across the Atlantic like green puzzle pieces. The hike up is surprisingly short — 45 minutes from the road to the summit. No climbing, just steep grass and wind trying to push you back down.
GPS: 62.2964, -7.0125
A small white lighthouse on the edge of the world. Kallur sits on the northern tip of Kalsoy — surrounded by vertical cliffs and open Atlantic on all sides. The hike out is narrow, the trail is terrifying, and the view over Kunoy and Borðoy is so wild you forget you're afraid of heights.
GPS: 62.3650, -6.7900
754 metres straight down. Enniberg is one of the world's tallest sea cliffs — rising almost perfectly vertical from the ocean to the top. You can't see the bottom. You can only hear the waves and the birds. And your own pulse.
GPS: 62.3722, -6.5833
The northernmost village of the Faroe Islands. Viðareiði sits squeezed between two massive mountains with a view of open Atlantic to the north. The white church from 1892 stands alone in the landscape, and behind it Villingadalsfjall rises 841 metres. The drive here is half the experience.
GPS: 62.3597, -6.5328
The Faroe Islands' second largest city smells of fish and ambition. Klaksvík is the fishing capital — the harbour is full of trawlers, and Christianskirkjan from 1963 has a Viking ship as an altar piece. Take the Klakkur hike for the view over the city — 413 metres up, and the entire fjord lies below.
GPS: 62.2307, -6.5973
A village pressed beneath a cliff wall rising 830 metres straight up. Kunoy feels like someone built houses in a place where nature said no. 70 people live here — with a view of nothing but mountain, fjord and sky.
GPS: 62.3039, -6.6475
Tórshavn's back garden. Nólsoy is the island you see from the capital — 20 minutes by ferry and you're in another world. 250 people, colourful houses along the harbour, and the Faroe Islands' largest seabird colony on the back of the island. Storm petrels in their thousands.
GPS: 62.0092, -6.6686
Sand in the Faroe Islands. Sandur is the exception — a long light sandy beach with dunes, surrounded by green hills. No palm trees. No warmth. Just the Atlantic and a beach that looks like it ended up on the wrong archipelago. The Vikings settled here a thousand years ago.
GPS: 61.8425, -6.8078
This is where the Faroese flag was born. Fámjin is a small village on Suðuroy's west coast, and in 1919 three students sewed the first Merkið — the Faroese cross flag — for a student gathering in Copenhagen. The original hangs in the church's glass case. Red, blue and white. Faroese identity in fabric.
GPS: 61.5247, -6.8793
470 metres straight down into the Atlantic. Beinisvørð on Suðuroy in the Faroe Islands is one of Europe's tallest sea cliffs — a basalt wall that drops like an axe from green grass to white foam. When the wind is right, the waterfalls blow UPWARDS along the cliff face. You feel it in your stomach before you see it.
GPS: 61.4183, -6.7585
The valley swallows you. Funningur on Eysturoy in the Faroe Islands sits at the bottom of a valley surrounded by 700-metre mountains, and in winter the sun only hits for two hours a day. 75 people live here, the houses climbing the slope with grass roofs that merge with the mountainside. The church from 1847 stands in the centre like an anchor.
GPS: 62.2871, -6.9663
Seven people. One family. One helicopter. Stóra Dímun is the most inaccessible inhabited island in the Faroe Islands — no harbour, no airstrip, no ferry. Just a vertical cliff wall with a helipad on top and a farm that has been here for 900 years. The island rises 396 metres from the Atlantic like a basalt fortress.
GPS: 61.6833, -6.7333
The air trembles with wings. 200,000 seabirds breed on Skúvoy — the Faroe Islands' most densely populated bird island, where the cliffs plunge 392 metres into the sea. Puffins, guillemots and storm petrels sit on ledges so close together the cliffside looks like a living wall. 25 people live here. The birds outnumber them ten thousand to one.
GPS: 61.7707, -6.8066
This is where the Faroe Islands end. Akraberg lighthouse on Suðuroy marks the southernmost point — a white tower from 1909 standing alone on a cliff moor with nothing between it and Scotland 600 km to the south. The wind never takes a break. The horizon is a line of sea in every direction but north.
GPS: 61.3940, -6.6792
Grass roofs and black sand. Leynar on Streymoy in the Faroe Islands is the village tourists forgot — the same charm as Saksun, without the crowds. A handful of houses with grass on the roof, a black sand beach at the end of the fjord, and coastal walks that take your breath away. 15 minutes from Tórshavn, but a different world.
GPS: 62.1170, -7.0409
The sound between Viðoy and Borðoy is so narrow you could almost throw a stone across. Hvannasund in the Faroe Islands clings to both sides — half the village on one island, half on the other, connected by a causeway. 320 people, two islands, one town. The houses climb the mountainsides in layers like coloured building blocks.
GPS: 62.2979, -6.5201
The weather decides everything. Svínoy in the northeast Faroe Islands is a remote island with 20 inhabitants, two villages and no road connection to the outside world. The northeast cliffs rise 586 metres sheer from the sea. Ferry and helicopter are the only links — and both get cancelled more often than they run. This is the Faroe Islands distilled to their essence.
