Faroe Islands Winter Fly-Drive
Explore the Faroe Islands during the Nordic winter season on this 5-day fly-drive based out of Tórshavn.
This stunning northern archipelago enjoy a temperate climate year round, never getting too cold, making it an ideal option for a winter getaway. Throughout the year, visitors can expect to experience both beautiful sunny days as well as fascinating wild storms (often within the same day).
The autumn and winter months are a great option, perfect for escaping the summer crowds and getting some of the islands' main attractions almost completely to yourself. Witness sprawling fields that tumble towards steep cliffs, beautifully peppered with colourful Faroese homes and churches. Drive from island to island through causeways and tunnels, and see what authentic life is like in tiny, scarcely populated villages, all while discovering the rich culture and history of these wind swept isles.
Enjoy the freedom that a car-hire provides and take in as many of the islands as your hear desires on this short break to the Faroe Islands.
