2The Faroe Islands
The Faroe Islands may be gaining attention on social media, but their remote location still gives them a completely different feeling compared with Europe’s major tourist destinations.
Dramatic cliffs, tiny villages, waterfalls, green mountains, and enormous stretches of open sea create an almost otherworldly landscape. Villages such as Saksun and Gjógv are particularly atmospheric.
The weather can be unpredictable, but that is part of the experience. For travelers who would rather watch clouds move across a mountain than stand in a crowded square, the Faroe Islands are hard to beat.
