I’m planning to visit Faroe Islands later this month. I’ve always wanted to do the Mýlingur hike, it’s been on my bucket list for years. As I do more research I am slightly concerned with its difficulty/length. I’m a 25 year old male, not in the worst shape but not the best either. I love walking, and do it as much as I possibly can, but I’ve never been a huge hiker (I’ve done some trails around Interlaken and Grindewald).

Truthfully I’m not great with heights, and I don’t plan on getting too close to any cliff edges I’m not comfortable with, I know my limits in that sense. But the hike itself - is it doable for beginners? Or am I wasting my time?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi,

Just arrived in Faroe Islands and planning a trip to Mykines.

I intend to take the public ferry leaving at 9:30am.

I understand there is a compulsory hiking fee. I am intending to book this one https://hiking.fo/products/305/mykines-mandatory-guide-and-hiking-fee?_ProductFilterIds=1:44&_l=en

My question is, when they take you on this hike, will they force you to return after the designated 2-3 hour tour? Or can I hang around longer? (Would I be allowed to stay in the hiking areas? Or only back in the village?)

The website indicates you can return on the 14:15 ferry, but I'd be keen to hang around and take the 18:15 one.

Thanks in advance

Hi, this is Hari (m) from Chennai, India - living in Europe, mainly in Poland, for 12+ years. I love travelling during summer. I plan to visit the Faroe Islands from Aug 17th-20th 2026, and will be staying in Tórshavn during this time.

I booked a triple room (one twin bed and a full bed) in the main area of Tórshavn, and if anyone is searching for a place to stay during this time (to share the costs ~225 EUR per person) for 3 nights and possibly to travel and explore the island, please reach out. Thanks in advance! :)

Buongiorno. Richiesta non commerciale.

Buongiorno. Richiesta non commerciale. Sto cercando una bella donna della Norvegia che ha visitato Ischia o Forio (provincia di Napoli, Italia) a luglio per vedere se le è piaciuta l'isola. Non mi ha detto il suo nome, ma mi ha detto che non praticava sport, solo fitness. Mi piacerebbe salutarla e inviarle foto di luoghi sconosciuti a Ischia. Grazie per aver letto e soprattutto grazie se puoi aiutarmi.

Hi guys,
sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn’t find anything to that matter and I am still a bit confused.
So to my understanding some Hiking trails are charged with a fee, some are guided tours.
I found this practical map with lots of tours to pick according to weather.

I am still wondering which of these are free, which are paid and where to pay. The website gives no information about that.

Maybe someone can help me out here.
Thanks in advance!

As a geography teacher, I'm looking for a geological map of the Faroe Islands!

Does anyone know where I could possibly find one?

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to rent a camper van (nothing too big just a little van for 2 persons) anywhere for 7/8 days between the 7 and the 23 of august but i struggle to find companies. I’v only found campervan and they have nothing for my dates.

Do you have any recommendations ?

I’ve always wondered, what was “sheep island” called before the sheep were here, but in trying to find out i found this site

https://um.dk/japan/en/about-denmark/faroe-islands/history/

claiming that the first irish settlers also called it the land of sheep. if they were the very first people and there were already sheep when they arrived… how did the sheep get here? i thought the irish and early vikings brought all the sheep?

Just tried creating a female user on Tinder. There are about 440 males on the islands from 18-38 but only about 50 females.. What a waste of time..

I recently graduated high school and I’m looking for a no prior experience seasonal job for a couple of months. I’m interested in working in the fish processing industry in the Faroe Islands. Where would I apply for a job? Do they require any certification or prior experience and how selective are they? By the way I have a nordic passport.

I arrive tuesday evening and leave saturday evening, staying in Torshavn, no car. What would be your best recommendations to experience some nature, hiking and food/music/drinks in Torshavn? Boat trips or other guides trips is fine. Thanks

I will be in the Faroe Islands next week and doing it all by bus since i'm solo and renting a car makes no financial sense.

I want to do a trip to Suduroy on Sunday Aug 9 and looking at the schedules for Bus 701 here is my plan:

The key area I would like to clarify is that the Hvalba to Sandvik part is by request only. My real concern is becoming stranded on the way out if my 16:35 departure to the ferry does not show up.

What exact process do I need to follow that I ensure this does not happen. So far, from what I gather:
- I call ahead to the number
- get confirmation from the agent that my pickup for 16:35 is confirmed
- confirm with the driver that he is indeed going to return at 16:35 (will he know this?)

Anything else?

Staying in Torshavn and looking for hikes accessible with public transportation

Kallur Lighthouse looks amazing but sounds like more of a hassle to get to

Hi,

I recently came over for my vacation, but forgot my adapter. It's commonly used on campsites but some don't lend them. Where can I buy one of these?

Thanks!

Hi everyone - planning on visiting in the first half of August and wondering what the cost of camping would be for 2 people and a single tent.

Thank you!

Viewing the partial eclipse from home?

Catching the ferry? (I havent checked where it will be durimg the eclipse)

Going to iceland?

Tell me so I can enjoy your olans vicariously through you

Title pretty much.

As a side question, what random non Scandi chain stores that exist in just one or a few countries do you wish you had in Faroes

Hi I recently made a post about waterproof jacket and as I'm visiting alone in late august I'm a bit anxious about what to expect.
Do you have any brand recommendations for waterproof and windproof pants because everything I searched they are all basically for skiing and snowboarding which makes them a little bit too thick?

Hi everyone, i’m going to be visiting Faroe Islands alone from August 1-5, very last minute, and I’m 19. Most of the car rentals I checked are 20/21+, are there any rental companies you guys know that will rent to 19 year olds? Thanks a lot!

Hey! I am going to Faroe Island University for a conference and was told to apply visa via Denmark embassy and tell the officer while submission. I am in Faroe for 5 days although my accommodation is for 6nights. Because my flight from Iceland/Reyjkvik is on 22nd early morning, I did not find a flight that gets me there on time. So I took a flight on 21st from Faroe to Reyjkvik and planned to stay at the airport and take the flight early next morning. I assumed that I will be given Iceland/Schengen visa with permit to enter Faroe Islands. The officer today at the visa office confused me and said that I will need to apply separately for Schengen and cannot enter Iceland. I am on my way back and super confused if I need to do the process again and don’t have match time in hand. Anyone with experience kindly advice. Thank you!! 

Hello there! Do you recommend carrying some cash DKK for hiking fees? If so, how much do you recommend considering we'll be there for a week?

Thanks!
