This new, thoroughly updated sixth edition of Bradtās Faroe Islands remains the only English-language guide to this isolated, unspoiled Nordic archipelago, home to TĆ³rshavn (the worldās smallest capital), and where there are twice as many sheep as people ā meaning that itās still possible to discover a way of life that is fast disappearing elsewhere in Europe, a place where sheep were fitted with cameras to help film for Google Streetview (locally dubbed Google āSheepviewā).
Visiting the Faroes is a chance to experience nature in the raw. Its breathtaking landscapes never fail to inspire, from the highest sea cliffs in Europe at Enniberg on the island of ViĆ°oy to the dramatic seascapes at Akraberg, the southernmost point of the Faroes. Also included are details of how to reach even the remotest corners by bus using a travel card, information on changing seabird numbers in the North Atlantic, and details of where to go birdwatching and hiking.
Written by expert author James Proctor, who has been visiting the Faroes since 1992, this guidebook offers detailed information about all 18 islands (including Mykines, whose year-round population is barely in double figures). Within the islands themselves, Bradtās Faroe Islands is recognised as the definitive source of information about the Faroes in the English language ā and is widely respected as such. Thereās hands-on advice about where to stay and eat, how to get around ā be it by local ferry, helicopter or your own hire car ā and what to see and do.
This latest edition includes all the most recent developments (including improvements in air, ferry and road travel ā the latter including the worldās only subsea roundabout) and provides all the information needed for a successful trip, with updated reviews of accommodation (plus TĆ³rshavnās classy new hotels) and eating and drinking options. Whether youāre visiting for the amazing birdlife, to walk some of Europeās least-known hiking trails or simply to sample real village life among the turf-roofed houses painted in a mĆŖlĆ©e of reds, yellows and blues, Bradtās Faroe Islands is the perfect companion.
