SEPTEMBER IN THE FAROE ISLANDS

September in the Faroe Islands is a time when the islands really are the most beautiful in terms of color, light and shade as they begin to settle into a cosy, autumnal rhythm. The crisp air carries the scent of the sea, and the landscapes start to glow with warm, earthy tones. While the days grow shorter, there’s still plenty of daylight to explore. The weather can be a mix of sunshine, mist, and the occasional rain shower, adding a touch of drama to the already stunning scenery.

TOP THINGS TO DO IN SEPTEMBER

Wondering what to do in a place like the Faroe Islands in September? What to bring, how to prepare? Well, first things first, make sure you pack your camera gear for a stunning show of natural wonders and a versatile wardrobe because the weather likes to play practical jokes on you here, by changing every 10 minutes but this is part of the islands’ charm, creating a dramatic and constantly shifting landscape. Here's a guide on how to make the most of your visit during September.

TIPS FROM AN ISLANDER

In case of art curiosity: Visit the many museums or see some form of artistic monument out in public, almost every village will have a monument or space open for visitors.
Back in time: Visit The 200-year-old farmhouse (The Open Air Museum) in Tórshavn with an accompanying barn, a smithy and a potato house.
Local Farmers Market: On the first Sunday of each month the centre of Tórshavn “Vágsbotnur” is transformed into a vegetable and harvest haven. Depending on the season you can expect the tastiest carrots, salads, potatoes, and even homemade rhubarb jam made with love.
Grab a pastry and a coffee at one of our favourite bakeries, Breyðvirkið, with fluffy buns, organic sourdough and sweet delights made with love.
