DECEMBER IN THE FAROE ISLANDS

December in the Faroe Islands….! 

They were completely surrendering to where the islands wanted to take them, and more importantly, what they wanted to show them. When I conceded to their flow, the Faroe Islands showed me beauty in jaggedness, euphoria in unpredictability and reverence that comes with grandeur.

TOP THINGS TO DO IN DECEMBER

Wondering what to do in a place like the Faroe Islands in June? What to bring, how to prepare? Well first things first, with longer days and milder temperatures, the islands come alive with blooming flora and bustling wildlife. You might notice more folks roaming around but the vibe is perfect - still very much laid back. Here's an island guide on how to make the most of your visit during June. 

Spas in the wild: Enjoy restorative spa treatments in natural surroundings. While it’s not an everyday thing, a few guesthouses and spots around the islands offer rustic hot tubs or saunas with panoramic views of the sea and mountains. In November, there’s something incredibly satisfying about sitting in warm water while cold wind and mist swirl around you.

TIPS FROM AN ISLANDER

  1. November Rain: There are 50 names for rain in the Faroe Islands. It rains more than 200 days a year so we use different words to describe the amount. For instance, ‘Sirm’ means ‘drizzle’ and ‘Glopraregn’ means ‘pouring down.’ So look up and embrace it.
  2. A Merry Invitation: Lighting of the Christmas tree in the Square of Tórshavn on 30th Nov. Come and experience a very cosy evening of music, warm treats and family fun.
