We asked our agent on the Faroe Islands, Martin E. Nielsen to give his best insigths to the beautiful Faroe Islands.
Gásadalur, which is situated on the island Vagar, where you also fnd the airport.
”As an agent on the Faroe Islands for 45 years, I have been so lucky as to follow the development of the country. Today 53.000 inhabitants live on the 18 islands in the North Atlantic Ocean, approx. 1200km from Denmark. The main part live in Tórshavn County, approx.. 23.000 people. The Faroe Islands are going to a perfect holiday destination for any nature lover and probably the only place in the world where you can experience 3-4 seasons in one day, depending on when you visit.”
From Vestmanna you can have a great experience sailing along the Vestmanna mountains. Klaksvik
Gjógv on the North coast of Eysturoy 67 km from Tórshavn. ”A new 11 km underground tunnel connects Tórshavn with Strendur and Toftir is the only tunnel with a roundabout under water. The roundabout is decorated with glass art by Trondur Patursson, that also made glass art for Copenhagen Airport.”
Some of the most special places to visit are: • Mykines, that you sail to from the island Søvágur • Gásadalur, which is situated on the island Vagar, where you also fnd the airport. • From Vestmanna you can have a great experience sailing along the Vestmanna mountains. • Kirkjubøur – Kirkebø the church of Olavs from approx. 1250. • Saksun – one of the most beautiful places! • Tinganes, the old town in Tórshavn, that has also starred in Danish movies. • Gjógv on the North coast of Eysturoy, approx.. 67 km from Tórshavn.
Saksun – one of the most beautiful places!
”The people of the Faroe Islands are in general very nice and helpful and probably the only place that has so many registered football players pr. habitant. Every town have their own football club and their own stadium. They have 3 divisions with men’s football clubs around all the islands. I had the pleasure of experiencing the last national game between Faroe Islands and Denmark, where we had a lot of trouble during the game, but ended up winning 1-0. ” 39
