The Place

Many tourists who visit the 18 volcanic islands of Faroe travel to see the multicolored cottages with grass roofs, the pyramid-shaped copper Vesturkirkjan spire, or the Akraberg Lighthouse in Sudhuroy, but most who visit the Faroe Islands travel to Streymoy, the biggest island of the group. You can also visit bird cliffs of Vestmanna or take a tour of Sudhuroy in a rigide inflatable boat called a RIG. A very tiny piece of Europe, there isn't much to do but relax and absorb the small-town beauty.
