Welcome to our ‘Heim’ (home): Embrace the warmth of Faroese hospitality in the local cafes and bars.

TIPS FROM AN ISLANDER

Stormcation: Always be mindful of the weather prior to any adventure. Channel your inner photographer and capture the wild beauty of stormy seascapes or moody landscapes.
Limited daylight hours. Plan outdoor activities during the brightest parts of the day and use evenings for cosy indoor experiences.
