To see the Faroe Islands in their best light, visit between May and July when the puffins are nesting and there are there are fewer tourists. This is a great time to see the islands and you will find the birds (and not just puffins) on most of the islands, but in particular on Mykines, Vagar and Eysturoy as well as the world-famous bird-cliffs of Vestmanna on Streymoy, you will often find places where the contented puffins wander around between your feet and the oystercatchers graze on the roadsides.

Robert's Tips
1
Step back in time at the historic Gamla Pub & Café in Tvoroyri, once the town's grocery store.
2
The Faroese love music. Attend G! Festival or one of the weekly 'Hoymabit' concerts – held in a local villager’s living room.
3
Walk between Tjornuvik and Saksun villages by crossing the 764m Melin mountain – a spectacularly scenic trail.
