The recommended scenic spot is Toles Harbor.

The play begins in the capital, Toles Harbor, where convenient transportation and reliable restaurants and hotels make it an excellent base camp for exploring the surrounding areas.

Spend a day or two exploring the huts in the historic Ting Gahrns district, and you will be deeply impressed by the colorful buildings here. The lovely thatched roof adds a fairy tale color.

The earliest settlers in the Faroe Islands were monks from Ireland. Vikings who roamed the sea in the 9th century occupied this area, and merged into Denmark in the 4th century/kloc-0, and finally became an autonomous overseas territory of Denmark in 1948. Parliament has been formed in the Faroe Islands since the Viking era, and it is considered as the oldest parliamentary organization in the world.

In the Faroe Islands National Museum and Art Gallery, you can trace the history of the islands and taste the unique culture.

Google Street View 20 16 officially entered the Faroe Islands. Prior to this, due to the lack of people and cars, people on the island installed cameras on sheep to collect materials for street view maps and even made local "sheep maps".

There are 70,000 sheep in the Faroe Islands, but the population is less than 50,000. It is really "more sheep than people", and the wool products produced are of high quality.

Istroi

If you want to explore the most fantastic natural beauty of the Faroe Islands, Eastroy, the second largest island not far from Toles Port, won't let you down.

Wedged between Kars Island and Stremmer, you can find the most majestic fjords and the highest peaks in the country, waterfalls hanging on the cliffs of Cape and charming small villages in the mountains.

In the north of Eastroy, the scenery you see every time you turn around is particularly shocking. Shuttling through charming villages is undoubtedly one of the most wonderful experiences.

Elduvik

Facing the rugged northern end of Kars Island, the small and exquisite village of Elduvik is as charming as a dream. The blackened traditional cottages are divided into two clusters, located at the mouth of Stora Creek, which is very suitable for taking pictures.

Gotha

Gotha is located at the end of the fjord between two rugged ridges and consists of three villages.

G held in July! This is the most famous rock music festival in the Faroe Islands. The music festival is held on a small beach, which seems incredible, but it will still resound through the surrounding villages.

MacKay i.

The westernmost island of MacKay is like the end of the world. The resident population of the island is less than 15, and one place is for accommodation. You need to take a helicopter (make an appointment in advance, 65,438+00 minutes) or a long-distance bus.

It is also a paradise for birdwatchers, who are hiking to the only scenic spot-Mykinesho built in 1909? On the way to Moore Lighthouse, you will meet the most important gannet colony in Faroe Islands and pass through the cave of Arctic puffins.

The seaside scenery may be the same as what the vikings saw when they first landed.

Kars i.

The figure of Kars Island in the northeast is thin, but the endless cliffs and depressions create an absurd atmosphere. The appearance of many tunnels is called "flute", and the scenery is spectacular.

One activity you can't miss here is bird watching. The natural beauty of the Faroe Islands is hidden outside the city. Sign up for a tour group from Toles Port and take a boat to Bird Cliff in Simana.

The world's largest Arctic puffin community is located here. This fat bird with black wings and white belly, colorful beak and feet will surely sprout to you.

Through the towering cliffs and peaks, you will also see the feeding areas of sea pigeons and puffins, screaming tube-nosed storks and three-toed gulls with thousands of white spots soaring into the sky.

Although July and August are the main tourist seasons in the Faroe Islands, you might as well visit in June, because this is the longest time in the day, most hotels and museums will be open, and the number of tourists is very small.

From September to May of the following year, there was abundant rain, and many infrastructures were no longer open. However, at that time, the mysterious sky, undulating ocean and breathtaking scenery were very suitable for travelers who wanted to meditate alone.

The common currency here is the Faroe Islands krona, which is equivalent to the Danish krona (DKK), and the Danish krona can be used universally.
