The Northern Lights

While the Faroe Islands are captivating by day, they take on a magical aura by night, especially during the Northern Lights. The islands’ location makes them one of the prime spots in Europe to witness this natural light show. The dancing colors of the aurora borealis against the backdrop of the Faroese landscapes make for an unforgettable experience.

This celestial display, with its vibrant hues painting the night sky, is a bucket-list experience for many. In the Faroe Islands, it’s just another testament to the region’s unparalleled natural beauty.

Mykines Island

Mykines Island is a paradise for birdwatchers. It’s home to a large colony of puffins, making it one of the best places in the Faroe Islands to observe these charming birds. The island’s lighthouse, perched on a cliff edge, offers breathtaking views of the surrounding seascape.

The journey to Mykines itself, whether by boat or helicopter, provides a unique perspective on the Faroese archipelago. Once on the island, the walking trails, surrounded by the symphony of seabird calls, offer a tranquil escape from the modern world.
