Destination guide
Sheep-dotted cliffs, misty fjords, and Nordic villages at the edge of the Atlantic.
The Faroe Islands are a quiet masterpiece of grass-roofed houses, puffin-covered sea cliffs, and roads that tunnel through mountains. With fewer visitors than Iceland and scenery just as dramatic, it's a dream for hikers, photographers, and slow travelers.
