5-Day Faroe Islands Itinerary With Hidden Gems
If you’re looking to escape the summer heat in a truly magical place, The Faroe Islands are the perfect spot for you!
We recently returned from an amazing Faroe Islands road trip where we saw countless waterfalls, thousands of sheep, grass-covered cottages, and stunning, unique landscapes.
This Faroe Islands itinerary is our tried-and-true itinerary that I spent hours, days, weeks & months planning. It includes both must-see, popular destinations and also amazing hidden gems (which were the highlight of our trip!).

Where to Stay For This 5-Day Faroe Islands Itinerary
IN A RUSH? LINKS TO OUR ACCOMODATIONS:
😍 Mulafossur Cottages:Absolutely stunning cottages in a remote valley surrounded by epic mountains and a nearby stream for playing. Only a 15-minute walk to Mulafossur Waterfall.
😍 Colorful Boathouse with Hot Tub:Picturesque boathouse situated right on the harbour in Leirvik with a cute wooden hot tub with boat and waterfall views with viking ruins right across the street!
This itinerary is centered around our two different accommodations in the Faroe Islands. We first stayed in Leirvik, which is a bit east, and then we stayed near Gasadalur to the west (next to Mulafossur Waterfall).
We chose to stay at two different places to save on driving. If you were to stay far to the east or the west for the entire trip, you could have a lot of long drives (and we already felt like we were driving a lot).
Stay #1: COLORFUL BOAT HOUSE WITH A HOT TUB:
Our first accommodations were a lovely, colorful boathouse right on the harbor in Leirvik with (this is the best part) a hot tub!
The house was perfectly clean, comfortable, and roomy, and we LOVED using the hot tub. Each night, we’d hop in and relax after a long day of exploring. In fact, my son was just asking today if we can go back to ‘the place with the hot tub in the Faroe Islands 😍’.
It was surprisingly difficult to find accommodations with a hot tub that would both fit our budget and the size of our family. I’ll give some alternative recommendations below that also have a hot tub if this one isn’t interesting to you.
OTHER AMAZING PLACES TO STAY WITH GORGEOUS VIEWS AND A HOT TUB!:
💰 3-Bedroom Cottage Overlooking the Water with Terrace and a Hot Tub: Surprisingly affordable for the size and location
💰💰 3-Bedroom Luxury Wooden Cottage with Grass-Covered Roof with Views and a Hot Tub located on Sandoy: Located on the same island we did the tour of the wool spinnery- one of my favorite islands
💰💰💰 2-Bedroom Grass Covered Home with Amazing Views and a Wooden Hot Tub: You can’t beat this location near Torshavn but located in nature. I’m a little jealous we didn’t get to stay at this beauty
💰💰💰3-Bedroom Wellness Townhouses with Sauna, Jacuzzi & Panoramic Views: If you’re looking for luxury with gorgeous views- this is it!
STAY #2: MULAFOSSUR COTTAGES:
I’m not being dramatic when I say this, but the top, top, top highlight of all our time in the Faroes was staying in Mulafossur Cottages.
I literally planned our entire trip around getting to stay here. We booked our JULY stay in DECEMBER, and they were already almost booked up! I chose our flights based on their availability and I’m so glad I did.
Staying in these cottages is a treat in itself. They are a 10-minute walk from Mulafossur Waterfall in the most beautiful, secluded valley.
They are designed with large windows surrounding the kitchen/dining area for sweeping views of the surrounding area so even when you are not out exploring, you still feel like you are experiencing the Faroe Islands.
Our kids LOVED playing in the stream next to the cottages, and even when it was bad weather, we still had STUNNING views from our dining table.
Mulafossur Cottages come with different room variations, and I highly recommend booking a cottage with a room on the main floor (you’ll be able to tell in the photos).
The upstairs bedrooms have the lowest ceilings I’ve ever experienced-I was never standing up straight.
Our kids LOVED the low ceilings, but we parents were bent in half any time we were upstairs and even had to go down the stairs backward to fit.
If you want an easier time than us, book one of the cottages with a bedroom downstairs ☺️.

If you want to stay in one accommodation the entire time, I would recommend booking near Torshavn. Once we arrived, I realized that although Torshavn is the capital city, the surrounding area is just as beautiful as anywhere else in the Faroe Islands.
ACCOMMODATIONS IN CENTRAL TORSHAVN:
💰 Hotel Djurhuus: Located just a 9-minute walk from central Torshavn, breakfast is included and some rooms have a sea view
💰💰 Havgrim Seaside Hotel 1948: is a beautiful boutique hotel situated close to the city center (only a 7-minute walk from restaurants), but situated in a scenic spot on the water with a shared hot tub
💰💰💰 STUNNING Grass-Covered, 2-Bedroom Home with Hot Tub and Views: I’m a little jealous we didn’t have the chance to stay in this beauty, which is only a 10-minute drive from Torshavn.
How much Time do You Need in the Faroe Islands?
I recommend 5-7 days to really get to see most areas/islands in the Faroe Islands. However, if you’re short on time, you could get a nice feel and hit the highlights in 3 full days.
One thing to take note of is that the weather can be unpredictable in the Faroes (even in peak summer).
So, if you only have a few days and one day has weather too cold, rainy, windy, and foggy to explore, you may miss some of the things you planned to see.
For that reason, I recommend adding 1 day to your itinerary for a bit of a buffer for poor weather.
How To Get Around The Faroe Islands
CAR RENTAL
The best and easiest way to explore the Faroe Islands is with a rental car. The downside to this is that rental cars in the Faroes can be so expensive!
On most of our European road trips, we expect to pay around $300 for a week-long car rental. However, in the Faroe Islands, we spent $1,400 on our 8-day car rental (bonkers, I know).
To see if you can save even a little bit of money, I recommend checking out Economy Bookings.
Economy Bookings is our go-to website for car rentals. It’s almost always less expensive than other search engines and even less than booking directly with a car rental company. We used in the Faroes to save a bit of money and you might be able to as well.

PUBLIC TRANSIT
There ARE buses in the Faroe Islands; however, you will be bound by their limited timetable and route. To learn more about public transit in the Faroes, click here.
TOURS/EXCURSIONS
If you aren’t keen on driving, I’d check out day tours that leave from Torshavn or even book a multi-day tour and let them do all the planning. There are a lot of really great options.

5 Days in the Faroe Islands: A Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 in The Faroe Islands
1. Take in the Views on Klakkur Viewpoint Trail
The Klakkur Viewpoint trail is a 1.7-mile round-trip hike that leads you up Klakkur Mountain to a peak with beautiful views of the surrounding sea, mountains, a lake, and the village of Klasvik.
The hike is all uphill, but doable! Even our 3 and 6 year olds did it 🙂
Some sites recommend starting the hike in Klaskvik, the village below the mountain. I don’t recommend that. You would just be adding a huge chunk of walking uphill up a road before you get to the actual trail.
We saw some people doing that and it looked like a total slog.
Just KEEP DRIVING up the hill, even when it seems like you can’t drive anymore and you’ll find a parking lot right at the mouth of the trailhead. You can find the parking lot I’m talking about on Google Maps here.
*A similar hike, but in a different region of the Faroes, is the Hvíthamar Viewpoint Trail.
2. Take A Short Visit To Leitisgardur Farm
Leitisgardur is a cute, small roadside attraction on the edge of the village of Viðareiði. If you’re heading to Viðareiði to see the church or to do some hiking, be sure to stop by Leitisgardur on the way!
Leitisgardur features some small ponds with roaming ducks, hens, swangees, and a turkey! However, my favorite part are the adorable houses built for the ducks made to look like traditional, grass-covered Faroese cottages.
3. Admire the Views From the Church of Viðareiði
There are many beautiful churches in the Faroes (really, they are all over). However, the views from the Church of Vidareidi are quite epic and if you’re in the area, I recommend swinging by.
4. Admire Toftanes Viking Site
There are a couple of different archaeological Viking sites in the Faroes. The one we visited was Toftanes in the village of Leirvik (right across from our Airbnb!). You can see the remaining stone walls from an almost 1,000-year-old Viking farmstead (how wild is that??).
Both of these archaeological sites are FREE and easy to access.
- Toftanes in Leirvik: in the 1980s, excavations revealed a Viking-age farmstead and many important artifacts (which you can actually see on display at the Faroe Islands National Museum)
- Niðri á Toft in Kvivik: This Viking site was excavated back in the 1940s as the first archeological research completed in the Faroe Islands, which revealed a Viking-age farm. Bonus is that it’s located only 30 minutes from Torshavn if you’re looking for a short drive from the capital.
Day 2 in The Faroe Islands
1. Feel the Mist at Fossa Waterfall
Fossa waterfall is the highest waterfall in the Faroes, falling 140m over two levels. Many of the waterfalls you’ll encounter in the Faroes are running down the said of a mountain, but this one definitely has an impressive free-fall drop.
There are a few parking spots next to the waterfall that turn over quickly (so if it’s full, just drive down the road and back, and one may have opened up).
You can take a short walk up to an observation deck at the base of the falls (where you’re really within misting distance) to really get a feel for how powerful the falls are.
And there’s even a picnic table at the waterfall with waterfall views on one side and sea views on the other.
2. Experience History at Saksun Heritage Farm
Saksun Heritage Farm was definitely a highlight of the trip for us. First of all, the village of Saksun is a remote, quiet, beautiful village surrounded by mountains, multiple waterfalls, a beautiful little church, and a lovely bay.
Right in the midst of this beauty is Saksun Heritage Farm, a handful of grass-covered buildings, including a home and outbuildings, that you can enter and discover what life living in Saksun looked like hundreds of years ago.
It’s really something to imagine living in this remote, barren landscape hundreds of years ago (and thousands if we are talking about Vikings!).
I recommend purchasing entrance tickets to the Saksun Heritage Farm for a couple of reasons.
First reason is that it’s lovely to see, and I think a great way to look back in time. And if you’re hoping to get a photo of the grass-covered homes with the bay in the background, this is where you’ll do it.
The second reason I recommend purchasing entrance tickets to the museum is to help support the local economy. I’m sure it’s quite an adjustment having so many visitors coming to your remote village after hundreds of years of peace and quiet- and the least we can do is support monetarily what they are offering.
They are open from May 1st to September 30th, Monday to Sunday, 10am to 4pm. You can purchase at tickets at the entrance.
3. Admire Saksun Waterfall
There are a few different waterfalls right in Saksun- one is located right next to the Saksun Heritage Farm and is so beautiful.
It cascades down different levels of the mountain and turns in a stream into the bay.
It looks as though you have to have entrance to Saksun Heritage Farm to access the waterfall, however, you don’t! Just look for the small sign pointing you towards the waterfall trail.
There is even a picnic table up the trail right next to the waterfall-what a perfect picnic spot!
4. Take the Saksun Lagoon Walk
The Saksun Lagoon Walk is 2.8 miles round-trip taking you down the hill to the black sand beach of the lagoon.
It’s recommended to visit at low tide to be able to walk as far as possible.
If you’ve read much about Saksun, you may have heard that you have to pay a large sum of money to access the Saksun Lagoon Walk Trail. However, that is no longer the case.
The turnstile is gone and access is free.
Day 3 in The Faroe Islands
1. Learn about Spinning Wool at Spinnaríið við ánna (The Spinnery by the River)
If there’s one thing my daughter talks most about in regards to our trip to the Faroe Islands, it’s learning about spinning wool at Spinnaríið við ánna (The Spinnery by the River).
Spinnaríið við ánna (The Spinnery by the River) is a small, family-run spinnery on Sandoy Island, trying to keep the tradition of spinning Faroese wool alive.
The owner is a father/daughter duo whose grandparents used to spin wool and knit fisherman sweaters back in the heyday of wool exports from the Faroe Islands.
They offer 1-hour guided tours of their lovely spinnery and teach you about every single step in the spinning process (and there are a lot of steps!).
At the end of the you can even purchase wool that has been spun right there in their factory. I highly recommend adding this unique experience to your itinerary for the Faroe Islands.
It was such a unique and meaningful experience to learn about the history of wool in the Faroes, considering we encountered thousands of sheep every day. Plus, the spinnery is located on Sandoy Island, which I found to be one of the most picturesque areas of the Faroe Islands.

*Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or looking to learn, check out this 3-hour Knitting Club Experience in the Faroe Islands, where you get to knit with locals and learn about the history of knitting in the Faroes. Click here to learn more.
2. Walk past sheep huts and ponds to a sea stack on Líraberg Trail
This part of our day wasn’t planned, but ended up being so lovely. After our tour of the spinnery, we asked our guide if there were any publicly accessible trails nearby.
They thought for a moment, pulled up a map, and said, ‘Hmm, I think you would like to walk up on this road here. We think it’s quite lovely. And there are some small ponds nearby that you can walk down to.’
We parked on the road that leads to the Líraberg Trailhead and walked along the road and down to one of the ponds.
The grassy hills with rocks strewn about, covered in weathered sheep huts and loads of sheep, were just so picture-perfect.
We didn’t walk the Liraberg Trail (just on the road leading to it). However, afterward, we looked up more about the Liraberg hike and realized that it could have been a great option had we had more time.
If you drive up the road that we walked on and park at the trailhead parking lot, the hike is only 0.8 miles round-trip and ends with beautiful cliff and seastack views.
3. Admire the Yarn-Bombed Rock
Another quick stop (or longer if you want to enjoy a nice picnic or scamper down to the beach) is the yarn-bombed rock.
The yarn-bombed rock is a large boulder covered in knitted fabric created by local women. If you’re a knitting enthusiast, I’d imagine this is a must-see.
4. Feel Like a Local at Cafein a Mølini
As I’ve mentioned, restaurants are few and far between in the Faroe Islands. However, Sandoy Island is home to one of the most down-to-earth restaurants I’ve ever visited.
Upon entering, it feels like you’re stepping into your grandmother’s home. Think family dining table, couches, coffee tables, cozy chairs, lamps, record players… the works.
They even have a shelf of board games and books, which our kids enjoyed while we waited.
The menu is limited; however, the chicken soup was so cozy and tasty, and the daily desserts can’t be missed (those were out of this world).
Day 4 in The Faroe Islands
1. Admire thousands of Seabirds beautiful cliffs on a Vestmanna Sea Cliffs Boat Tour
Getting out on a boat trip while you’re in the Faroe Islands is a must-do. We opted for the Vestmanna Sea Cliffs Boat Tour and it did not disappoint!
The Vestmanna Sea Cliffs Boat Tour is a 1.5-hour boat trip along epic sea cliffs and even through vast sea stacks that reach 472 ft out of the water!
Looking up, you can see thousands of nesting birds flapping about- we even saw puffins! And there was even a waterfall in the midst of everything. It was beautiful!
The boat guide gave a great commentary during the ride and it was overall a great experience.
The boat has both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating has a much better view than the indoor seating; however, you’ll want to make sure you are in line a bit early to be able to secure an outside spot.
We actually sat inside with our kids to get them out of the wind, but then stepped outside for a good chunk of the ride when we were right near the cliffs and sea stacks. Then we went back in again for the ride back to the marina to escape the wind.
The boat tours can sell out, so I recommend purchasing your tickets in advance. Click here to see pricing and availability.
Another popular boat tour is the 1-hour RIB boat tour out to Drangarnir Sea Arch. Click here to see what that boat trip entails.

2. Take a Walk Through Torshavn
In my opinion, you only need a couple of hours to explore Torshavn, so it’s a great way to end the day after your boat tour.
Torshavn by far has the most dining options, so you may want to get dinner while in town. We ate at Paname Cafe and (sadly) weren’t very impressed with their sandwiches; however, their buns with cheese and homemade rhubarb jam were totally winners.
Torshavn is small and walkable so making a loop around town and then stopping for food is a great way to spend a couple of hours. If you’re traveling with kids, there is a really great playground in Torshavn as well.
TOP THINGS TO SEE IN TORSHAVN:
Old Town: One of the most picturesque areas of Torshavn. The streets of Reyn and Undir Ryggi. Black tarred houses with grass-covered roofs.
Tinganes: The other most picturesque area of Torshavn, and basically a continuation of Old Town. You’ll find red and white grass-covered parliament buildings, which may be the oldest, still functioning parliament buildings in the world.
Torshavn Marina: Colorful buildings along the boat-filled marina.
Skansin Fortress: Skansin Fortress is from the 1500s with a lighthouse and WW2 cannons to discover.
Breydvirkid Bakery: Yummy bakery specializing in sourdough and Scandinavian baked goods.
Day 5 in The Faroe Islands
1. Walk the Witch’s Finger Trail/Trollkonufingur
The Trollkonufingeur Trail or Witch’s Finger Trail is a 1.8-mile round-trip walk on a mostly paved, mostly flat trail along the coast. It ends at a viewpoint for the Trollkonufingur sea stack.
The walk is easy, and the trailhead is located in the same small village of Fiskastykkid (a restaurant that comes highly recommended) which makes this walk a great pre-lunch option.
2. Try Traditional Fish Soup at Fiskastykkið
I’m not a person who particularly enjoys eating fish; however, the traditional fish soup at Fiskastykkid came HIGHLY recommended by the host of where we stayed.
The restaurant Fiskastykkid is in a small village that became a fishing village over a century ago. The townspeople caught then brought ashore cod to be dried and salted on the paved stones that still stand today next to the restaurant and the sea.
The fish soup at Fiskastykkid is made with that same dried and salted cod (bacalao) with an added cozy taste of leeks. The fish is a very mild, white fish, and the soup felt like such an authentic meal to experience in the Faroes.
The restaurant is decorated with old photos of the town’s men and women fishing and drying their catch, and has such a genuine, cozy vibe.
Another amazing thing is that Fiskastykkid is family-friendly! They have a corner for kids with a drawing table, toys, and balance toys. It was perfect!
*Reservations are highly recommended; we even needed them for lunch. And take note of their unique opening hours: Wednesday-Sunday 11 am-6 pm.
3. See the Stunning Views of Drangarnir and Tindhomur from the Bøur Panoramic Viewpoint
The view from Bøur Village (in my opinion) is one of the most scenic views in all of the Faroes. This tiny village is right off the main road with a sweeping view of Drangarnir Sea Arch and the jagged islet, Tindhólmur.
Tindholmur is so otherworldly that it was actually used as inspiration and a filming location for the 2025 live-action How to Train Your Dragon film!
If you’re visiting with kids, be sure to stop by the Bøur playground to enjoy the views while your kids play.
4. Mulafossur Waterfall
Mulafossur waterfall is so iconic, and if you’ve researched the Faroes much, you’ve definitely come across this beauty.
The waterfall is located in a beautiful, secluded valley with only a handful of homes in the nearby village and a few cottages (which we were lucky enough to stay at).
To deliver mail to this tiny village, the postman used to walk up and over the mountain on a 5-mile out-and-back trail. Thankfully, a tunnel was built in 2004 to make the village much more accessible
However, you can still take that hike today- click here to read about it on All Trails!
Anyway, back to the waterfall. It’s very easy to visit as the viewpoint is just a short, 3-minute walk from the parking lot.
I hear that it’s common for puffins to come ashore around 5-7 pm, and if you’re lucky, you’ll catch a glimpse of them!
My husband spotted some on the far side of the waterfall; however, he would have needed binoculars to get much of a good look.
additional Days
1. Day Trip to Mykines Island/Puffin Island
We didn’t make it out to ‘Puffin Island’, but I hear that it’s amazing.
If you want to see thousands of puffins and see them up close, this is the way to do it (during the summer months).
I’ve seen photos and videos of puffins just flying around people within arms’ length. Again, we haven’t been there, but it looks great.
A guide is REQUIRED to walk anywhere past the village to the main trails, viewpoints, and lighthouse. Click here to see pricing and availability for a day trip to Puffin Island.
These trips can easily get canceled in case of poor weather, so if visiting Mykines is a priority for you, be sure to book towards the beginning of your trip in case you need to reschedule.
🐧 Click here to see pricing and availability for a day trip to Puffin Island! 🐧
2. An extra day for flexibility
If you can make time for it, I recommend adding one extra day to your Faroe Islands itinerary to have a bit of wiggle room. This is a 5-day itinerary; however, we actually had about one week in the Faroe Islands with 6 full days for exploring.
One of the days we were in most of the day, except for a short trip outside (with our rain gear on) to play in the stream by our cottage.
Extra Tips for Visiting the Faroe Islands
- You generally can’t find tours/excursions on the common booking platforms such as Viator or Get Your Guide. The Faroe Islands have condensed most of their tours onto their OWN booking platform GuideToFaroeIslands.com. Click here to see available tours and pricing.
- As I’ve mentioned, it’s wise to add one extra day to your itinerary in case of poor weather (which frequently happens). We had one day that we spent mostly inside, but ventured out in rain gear to play in the stream by our cottage in the afternoon.
- Always bring your layers with you! You never know when the cold wind will kick up or fog will roll in. Alternatively, you also don’t know if the clouds will break and the warm sun will shine through.
- I recommend bringing a picnic lunch/snacks with you almost always. Restaurants are few and far between.
- If you’re planning a summer trip to the Faroes and want a specific type of accommodations (grass-covered cottage, hot tub, beautiful views, etc) or in a specific area … BOOK AHEAD! We visited the Faroes in JULY and booked our accommodations in December. Even then places were already filling up!
- If you’re traveling with kids, be sure to pack good rain gear (coat and pants). Our favorite Scandinavian rain suits for kids can be bought on Amazon! Click here to see prices and colors available.

And that’s our tried-and-true 5-day Faroe Islands itinerary! We had a great time in the Faroes, and if you’re looking for an adventurous trip, you will too! Let me know in the comments below if you have any questions, and I’ll be sure to get back to you.
