What to do and see in Faroe Islands, Faroe Islands: The Best Things to do Good for Big Groups
Bobbing in the frothing North Atlantic, the remote, 18-piece Faroes are a picturesque patchwork of emerald pastures, dotted with sheep, gaily-hued cottages and tree-free moors. The sea is never more than three miles distant in this proud, assured land, where deep-rooted traditions remain strong. The coasts boast deep fjords, steep cliffs and looming headlands. Explore these fjords by wooden sloop or sail the coast by schooner. Walk the fells and brave the unpredictable weather to puffin spot.

Reviewed By leadane - Copenhagen Region, Denmark
This iconic shot from the Faroe Islands is a short drive from the airport, and we had enough time to go see it while returning the car to the car rental at the airport. Short and easy walk to get the best view. Plenty of people taking pictures from the same spot, but that did not ruin the beauty of it. A must see place.
3. Kalsoy

Reviewed By RoelR - Wuustwezel, Belgium
Take the ferry from Klaksvik to Syðradalur (be sure to be there on time, as it will fill up quickly) and be amazed by the landscape and views on the unique island that is Kalsoy. When driving up to Trøllanes, there are a few stops along the way (Mikladur, Húsar) not to be missed. Obviously the hike to the lighthouse is the most popular, and 100% worth it. I'll reward you with the best views in the world. (Bold statement, but I've seen my share) The hike will take about 50 minutes one way.

The attractive, historic centre of Torshavn, with old grass-roofed buildings. The headquarters of the Faroese Government is based here.
Reviewed By earthtravelller
Lovely picturesque compact area in the centre of Torshavn between the two harbours and steeped in history. This is the location of the Faroese Parliament and Government buildings, narrow cobbled streets, grass roofed cottages and a photographic opportunity at every turn. Well maintained and a living area with residents rather than a museum, an absolute must see in this tiny capital.

6. Olavskirkjan

Reviewed By ivart2017
The Olavskirkjan is a part of the three churches at Kirkjubour. It is still in use even it is very old. The church invites the visitors to pray in silence but you are also welcome to study the architecture and changes to it over time. The wood structure in the tower is wonderfull and of very high level of craftmanship. A must place to visit!
7. Saksun Church

Reviewed By 355stefang - Brussels, Belgium
This entire area - the church, the tiny village with the grass-covered roofs, the large bay, the waterfalls, etc. - make this place so picture-postcard perfect. While there we did the hike that starts in Saksun and finished in Tjørnuvík (Tjørnuvík also being an incredible place with a beautiful beach) and we hiked back. For really superb views, do the very first bit of the hike that takes you to the top so you can overlook Saksun and the bay from on high. In Saksun there is a car park and there are toilets (free). Also, a mile or so away, there is another car park and you can walk out to the bay itself via the beach, all the way to where the bay dumps into the ocean. Be aware of the tides - high tide and it'll be impossible to do this. Check the tide timetables online, though it's also posted at the entrance gate where you have to pay about $10 per person, which in my opinion is a rip-off (and you MUST pay, as there is no way around the gate and the surrounding fence appeared electrified and there are video monitoring cameras), but then again how often are you in the Faroes? Might as well pay, though I'm pretty sure the owners don't need the cash, as is evident by the huge house, multiple cars, even more multiple 4x4 vehicles, etc. that you will walk by as you make your way to the bay - but I digress. Overall, a truly wonderful landscape. Enjoy!

We were so lucky with the weather,so the boat trip was ok. The hiking was fantastic with lots of different birds and great view. The hiking fee is 250 per person. It is too much.

Gjorgv is one of the Top places to visit in Faroe Island . Its view is outstanding and awesome. You can even go downstairs to the bottom to see more nice view over there. When I was there, there was a group doing abseiling and zip line to the bottom. The zip line was more exciting as it hits the water . Maybe tourists can do that too . It looks like fun :)
