 Vestmanna by JLBG
Vestmanna was the port of call of the ferry from Vagar and the airport. Thus all the traffic to and from the
airport passed Vestmanna. That is over now. A submerged tunnel now connects the two islands and has replaced the old ferry. The traffic enters the tunnel from just above the village of Leynar and therefore the
traffic is not passing Vestmanna any more.
Vestmanna is popular with tourists due to the fact that it is a charming village but especially because boat
trips are arranged from Vestmanna to Vestmannabjorgini. These are impressive bird cliffs and caves just
outside Vestmanna. When the weather allows it several trips are arranged a day. They start from the ferry
port and one trip takes about 3 hours. Leave a Comment

 Kollafjard by JLBG
In 2002, the Faroes' first factory producing pelagic fish for human consumption was open in Kollafjørdur. Its name is Kollafjord Pelagic Ltd. and, in terms of quantity, its main product will be blue whiting. The fish is vacuum-packed and frozen in horizontal platefreezers and packed in 20 kgs cardboard boxes.
The catching grounds for blue whiting, herring, capelin and mackerel are within a fair distance of Kollafjørdur, which makes it an excellent location for such a plant. At full operation it will have a freezing capacity of approx. 1.000 mt per day. This is most likely the largest capacity in the world for a pelagic plant freezing only for human consumption.

Gjôv is a town on the island Eustroy in faroe Island. There is gorge that makes a natural habor and the gorge is quite wide. Gjov is norse for gorge and this town must have been one of those most beautyful areas I ever have been to perhaps there is some prettier places. But Gjov is one of prettiest nature places on the faroe islands and perhaps in northeren Europe. Leave a Comment Directions: You find gjov on the island of Eustroy

By far the most fun tourist thing I have ever done in the Faroes. Our group was taken out in two boats. Our guide was fantastic. He could tell us the trivia, history, and legend associated with every crag, cliff, and bluff. We didn't actually get to see very many birds on this particular excursion, but apparently that's not usually the case. We did see a number of birds, especially puffins. The view was absolutely spectacular. Gorgeous green-topped cliffs and surrounding islands. We were taken right into the grottos between the cliffs. Fantastic! The boats are small though, and feel every motion of the sea, so if you are not comfortable on water be warned. Also be prepared to get prett wet! There was some splashing from the sea, but we also got rained on before going back to shore. Leave a Comment

The Vikings founded the first parliament on Tinganes around year 900.
The best view of the harbour is from an elevation. Thorshavn, is a very cute and quiet little capital. No traffic jam and if any, when the ferry is showing, it won't last ! Leave a Comment

 Vestmanna Bird Cliffs, Faroe
Islands by glenn57
The cliffs are stunning, and you see and hear the thousands of birds constantly. Species include the guillemot and the puffin.
In former days, and still even now to some degree, Faroe Islanders would climb down the cliffs from above to collect bird eggs, which are a great delicacy. Leave a Comment

 Typical scene in the Faroes by glenn57
Virtually everyone seems to speak English, making things easy for many tourists. They also speak Danish, and their native language, Faroese. Leave a Comment
