Faroe Islands – 2016
Towards the end of May 2026 we had a 2 week self driving holiday to the Faroe Islands. Although we were driving ourselves, the itinerary and a couple of excursions were part of a pre-booked package. We flew out from Edinburgh Airport to Vagar Airport on 21st May, and picked up a hire car for our stay. Our itinerary took us to most of the main islands in the archipelago:-
- Vagar – 3 nights staying just outside of Sorvagur, close to the airport.
- Streymoy – 3 nights staying just outside of Torshavn.
- Bordoy – 3 nights staying in Laksvik
- Eysturoy – 3 nights staying in Gjov
- Streymoy – 1 might staying in Torshavn
Faroe Islands Location Map
The map below shows all our overnight locations. The islands are very well linked by bridges or under-sea tunnels, and are quite small. The driving distance between the two most separated points on the road network is just 55 miles, which can be covered in well under 2 hours. So a 2 week stay, might seem like over-kill, but it gave us plenty of opportunities to explore the islands and take time over our photography without feeling the pressure of having to move on to the next location.
