This new, fully updated sixth edition of Bradt's Faroe Islands remains the only guide in English for this isolated, pristine Scandinavian archipelago, home to Tórshavn (the world's smallest capital), and where there are twice as many sheep as there are people. It’s an opportunity to discover a way of life that is rapidly disappearing elsewhere in Europe, in a place where sheep have been equipped with cameras to help capture images for Google Streetview (locally known as Google 'Sheepview').

A visit to the Faroe Islands is an opportunity to experience nature in its most authentic form. Its landscape, with its stunning natural beauty, never fails to inspire. From the highest sea cliffs in Europe at Enniberg on the island of Viðoy to the dramatic coastal scenery at Ákrahberg, the southernmost point of the Faroe Islands, the natural beauty of the islands is unparalleled. Details are included on how to reach the most remote corners by bus, using a travel card, information about the changes in seabird populations in the North Atlantic, as well as details on where to watch birds and go hiking.

Written by expert author James Proctor, who has been visiting the Faroe Islands since 1992, this guide offers detailed information on all 18 islands (including Mykines, which has a minimal permanent population). Within the islands, Bradt's Faroe Islands is recognized as the definitive source of information about the Faroe Islands in English and is widely respected. It contains practical advice on where to stay and eat, how to get around - whether by local ferry, helicopter or your rental car - and what to see and do.

This latest edition includes all the most recent developments (including improvements in air, ferry, and road transport - the latter includes the world’s only underwater roundabout) and provides all the information you need for a successful trip, with updated reviews of accommodations (plus the stylish new hotels in Tórshavn) and dining and drinking options. Whether you’re visiting for the stunning birdlife, to hike some of Europe’s lesser-known trails, or simply to experience life in the villages among the houses with grass roofs painted in a jumble of reds, yellows, and blues, Bradt's Faroe Islands is the perfect companion.
