The Faroe Islands have been on my list for the longest time as a place to visit. After doing some research, I found that there was always something cool to do and see on each of the country's 18 island archipelago. One such island is Streymoy, which houses the largest portion of the Faroese population. This is also because the capital city of Torshavn is also located on this island. Streymoy has such a versatile array of natural attractions from waterfalls, mountain cliffs, and sea stacks. The north of Streymoy sits the village of Tjornuvik. It features just a few homes, nestled in between a valley with the sea stacks Risin og Kellingin in the distance. Not too far away is the Fossa waterfall, the tallest in the Faroe Islands. Standing at 140 meters tall, it is even visible from the nearby island of Eysturoy. Further inland, sits the small town of Saksun. The black sand beach of Saksun is perhaps the most popular attraction here, in addition to the turfed church of Saksun. The Saksun beach is nice to experience in low tide as the entire beach around is accessible around this time. The capital city of Torshavn is also located on the southeastern coast of Streymoy. Home to nearly 20,000 residents, it comprises about 40% of the Faroese population. The city is small and walkable, has an incredible old town, and very nice harbor area. You can take buses around island as well. You can get a 7 day travel pass for a fixed rate (in addition to other day lengths). The buses all take card as well if the travel passes are not worth it for you in the long run.

This allows you to fly (under certain restrictions) within other EU countries. The standard rules apply such as flying within visual line of sight, not flying at night, only 120 meters in elevation, and not over crowds or sensitive infrastructure. Furthermore, other restrictions may also be enacted by the Danish Transport Authority. Generally though, flights should not be taken with 150 meters of a village and anywhere that have signs posted forbidding drones.
