- Faroe Islands ↗The Faroes are part of the Danish realm but outside the EU and Schengen: a Schengen visa is not automatically valid there. Check the Faroese and Danish official sources for your passport.
- Faroe Islands ↗Many popular trails cross private farmland and require a paid access fee or a guide; check before you walk and do not cross fences.
- Faroe Islands ↗Subsea tunnels charge tolls; hire cars are usually registered for automatic billing, but ask when you pick up the car.
Streymoy is the main island of the Faroes and holds the capital. The town is the base; the rest of the islands are day drives by hire car through bridges and subsea tunnels.
