The Faroe Islands are Europe's best-kept secret — an archipelago of 18 islands in the North Atlantic between Scotland, Iceland, and Norway, where dramatic cliffs, endless green grasslands, and rough weather create one of the wildest and most photogenic landscapes on the continent.

The islands seem like they are from another world: Steep rock cliffs drop hundreds of meters straight into the sea, waterfalls plunge directly from the cliffs into the ocean, and the villages with their colorful wooden houses and grass roofs (Turf Houses) nestle in sheltered valleys between the mountains. Clouds and fog sweep over the peaks in minutes, creating light moods that send photographers into ecstasy.

The Múlafossur waterfall on Vágar is the iconic image of the Faroe Islands: A waterfall that plunges directly over a cliff into the Atlantic, with the small village of Gásadalur in the background. The Sørvágsvatn (Leitisvatn) on the same island is a lake that appears to float above the sea due to an optical illusion.

The birdlife is spectacular. In the summer months, millions of seabirds nest on the cliffs: puffins, gannets, storm petrels, and guillemots. The island of Mykines is the puffin paradise — a short boat ride and hike brings you within arm's length of these charming birds.

The Faroe Islands are a place of extremes and deceleration. There are no traffic lights, no fast-food chains, and only 55,000 inhabitants on the 18 islands. The connection of the islands through tunnels, ferries, and helicopter services (the cheapest helicopter service in Europe!) makes exploring an adventure. And the New Nordic Cuisine in the Faroe Islands — fermented, smoked, and hyper-local — is one of the most exciting culinary scenes in Scandinavia.
