APRIL IN THE FAROE ISLANDS

April is our favourite! One never knows where the day might take you, perhaps one day to the beach for some dipping in the sun or a misty afternoon on top of a peak enjoying unreal views. Colours are bursting at every corner, tiny fluffy lambs see their first day on the green fields.

When you pass a local, make eye contact, nod and mutter a semi-silent “dagin” [dæːjin] (Good day)

TIPS FROM AN ISLANDER

Fluffy arrivals: April is the time of ‘Lembing’ where the Islands come alive with the sweet sight of newborn lambs. Across the bright green fields, you'll witness the joyous arrival of these fluffy bundles, marking the beginning of a season filled with maternity joy. So remember to be mindful, careful and show distance when exploring.
Just keep driving: A most strange and remarkable thing about the small islands is that no matter the weather you are bound to find the sun somewhere on the islands! A clever local once said to a visitor. “Just keep driving and you will find the sun” - turns out he was right. You will find live streams at various spots on this site: Faroe Islands Live.
Raise your flags: April 25th is when we celebrate ‘Merki’ the Faroese Flag. The day, a national holiday, is marked by various events, parades, and a festive atmosphere across the islands.
They see me rollin': Prepare for some quirky easter traditions, where we boil eggs, paint them and roll them down a hill to subsequently catch the broken ones and perhaps even eat them.
Go on tour with a Farmer's Daughter: Take one day out of your schedule to go on a wonderful storytelling tour and
stand at the legendary centre of the Faroe Islands with a farmer's daughter.
