Introducing the next great adventure destination: the Faroe Islands. Despite being part of Europe and (loosely) governed by Denmark, many people have never heard of these eighteen islands about halfway between Iceland and Norway. Those who make the journey will be greatly rewarded with deep fjords, pop-up waterfalls, and bright green valleys. A stunning coastline is never more than five kilometers away. Sheep outnumber hikers on wind-blown trails. While Tórshavn is one of the smallest—and cutest—capitals in the world. Go now. Nonstop (seasonal) flights recently took off from New York, so these remote islands won’t remain under the radar for long.

Tórshavn is the largest city in the Faroe Islands. That doesn’t mean it’s big! It’s actually one of the smallest capitals in the world. Plus it’s utterly charming. The city on the southeast coast of Streymoy was founded by the Vikings and named after Thor (the Norse god). It’s still filled with turf-roofed houses, a sea-facing cathedral, and a fort to guard against pirates. Tórshavn isn’t stuck in the past, though. Coffee shops, design boutiques, record stores, a hip brewery, and minimal restaurants keep popping up around the harbor. The Faroese capital is about to become everyone’s favorite little Nordic city.

Welcome to the Faroe Islands! September is a fabulous month for those yearning to explore the secluded Faroe Islands. The autumn in Faroe Islands will slowly roll in and the magical colours of the Arctic grass carpet on the mountains will start to show. In early September everything is still lush green but will softly transform to colours of yellow, orange and red as the bright evenings of summer are taken over by the darker nights of autumn. The Faroe islands are truly a magical place. Located half way between Scotland and Iceland in the Northeast Atlantic, the Faroe Islands are an archipelago of 18 mountainous islands, with a total land area of 1,399 square kilometres, a sea area of 274,000 square kilometres and a population of 50,000. The language of the Faroe Islands is Faroese. ​The average day temperature in September is 9° C (48° F). Snow is very unlikely. The temperature will be quit stable never getting below 5° C and above 15° C. Expect hoovering wind to blow in your face while you are out immersing yourself in the wilderness. Rain can from time to time drop almost horizontally and waterfalls along the mountains might just as well flow upward than drop down.
