Coordinates : 62.135992, -6.968536 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Many birds (puffin, gannets, guillemots, terns), but above the unspoiled landscapes and still autentici.I fishing villages and the smallest capital in the world, Torshavn, complete the picture of the subjects of these beautiful isole.Da missed: Mykines, Gjogv, Klaksvik, head Enniberg (just to watch him from afar the idea), panorama Sornfelli.

Recommended equipment : From wide angle for landscapes to telephoto for birds. 300/400 mm may be sufficient given that the animals are easy to approach. The tripod is a must for the photos to landscapes. Eye to the strong winds that often pulls quese parts, especially during long exposures. A rain proof cover for the equipment is recommended because of the changeable weather (The saying goes: "You do not like the weather? ... Wait 5 minutes !!") In Chapter necessary equipment, also carry shoes and clothing from trekking . The islands offer many opportunities for trekking, from the quietest to the most extreme. Climb one of the "panettone" during the holiday is a must ... with an eye on the weather!

Best months : The best time is the summer for endless days (technically there is the midnight sun but it's always a day) and the sunset that lasts an infinity! In winter and in spring and autumn, you can see the aurora borealis, but the receptivity of the island is limited, as well as the opportunity to get seen the often inclement weather.

How to get there : By plane from London, Milan, Barcelona and Copenhagen. If you can not land at the first attempt, do not panic, and 'quite frequently. Even in summer you may not be able to land and finally, as a result, in some of the states closest airport: Norway, Iceland or the Faroe Islands Scozia.Le are also connected by sea from Scotland and Denmark, but the navigation door away a long time.

Visits : Do not miss the island of Mikynes. It can be reached by ferry at a cost of about 25 € a / r. is home to a colony of puffins largest in the world. For times and prices of the ferry, and more generally the bus islands, visit http://www.ssl.fo/Se you can, it is worth to take a ride in a helicopter using the helicopter that connects different parts of the islands during certain days of the week. Prices vary depending on the route. Unfortunately it is not possible to make a flight to / r. For schedules and reservations, please visit https://www.atlantic.fo/en/Un other tour not to be missed are the cliffs of Vestmanna: boat trip that takes you beneath the cliffs to the north of this fishing village. Will not say more because the words are really unnecessary. (Http://www.puffin.fo/en/)Per other ideas on the most picturesque villages and routes, I recommend driving Faroe Islands - Bradt Travel Guides. One of the few guides dedicated entirely to the Faroe Islands. Available in English only.

Notes : If you look at the pure nature, the silence, the sound of the sea with its waves, wind gusts and with its thousands of birds flying near the cliffs of these islands ... well this is the place for you. Environments from Jurassic Park, cliffs overlooking the sea (including the head Enniberg check the cliff overlooking the sea the world's highest) and a land still not being sufficiently exploited by turismo.Pur collected, the Faroe Islands can safely fill a whole week of vacation. In my opinion go for 3-4 does not allow you to make you fully enjoy the emotions that these islands give to the traveler.
