Tórshavn is a beautiful charming city, perfect starting point for any Faroese adventure! Check out my previous videos to learn about the beautiful hikes you can do: ua-cam.com/play/PLXOJRkIcGUoaJfKQD6OmEzEPdvvHpZGSm.html
That's so beautiful. It might be very quiet and relax there. Charming city and island itself. Definitely worth of visiting and exploring at least 3-4 days. It makes me think of Bergen in Norway, or Visby in Sweden. Scandinavia is so gorgeous and stunning place to discover. Great video, good job. Thank you.
Thank you for watching and your comments! I have not been to Norway but I have been to Stockholm. I really love the Scandinavian architecture, simple yet beautiful
It’s polite to respect them because especially in Faroe Islands, many of the places are privately owned so the owners could just look it up for good. Thank you for watching!
One google search away and you will be able to confirm that the Faroes is not a country, and neither is it defined as "independent", much less fully. It is Autonomous, yes, but being Autonomous and being independent are not synonymous. Thank for showing us around, tho!
No evergreen trees. Barely any trees except little ones. I love our tall, old trees, and there are so many forests. Kinda barren land and lack of capability to grow many vegetables or fruit or crops in the Faroes. Nothing good to eat there. A whole different culture from the beautiful Pacific NorthWest, USA, where I was raised. Faroe looks interesting because of the different culture like other counties on our wonderful earth ❤
You’ve got the beautiful cliffs and the sound of the ocean! I totally understand though, the lush forests of PNW and the wildflowers in the summer add that extra beauty. Faroe definitely feels unspoiled which I loved just exploring without being surrounded by tourists. Hope you get to visit Faroe Islands 🇫🇴!
I live in the Pacific Northwest, rural Idaho to be more specific. I love the big, silent open spaces. The Faroes has its charm, though. Also open and unspoiled. Plus it's home to one of my absolute favorite singers, Eivør.
@WardDorrity once you leave the city it’s so peaceful. Waterfalls flowing over the cliffs, ocean to one side and beautiful cliffs and mountains on the other side. Magical
Used to have a girl friend here. Visited her family and sisters here. Wonderful memories . Took a ferry from Aberdeen. Rough as one could imagine. (Skillicorn)
Thank you very much! I have been told that when it comes to travel, my eyes just light up. I love sharing these places because I know most of my friends or family will never visit themselves
May I ask what is the best period to visit the islands? I know the weather is much like in Scotland and Ireland changing much and can be cold or warm in a same day, but what periode would be most recommended? Also not too touristy but more hotel availability for spontaneous cruises around the isles instead of planning everything ahead of time
The most popular or best season is between May - August. The puffin colonies return to the islands, much more sunshine and opportunity for better weather. I did this trip in the beginning of September and had amazing weather for most of my time, unfortunately I did not get to see the puffins. I did a whole video explaining a visit to Faroe Islands here: ua-cam.com/video/KmWYU0J7gug/v-deo.html
@@LukeGeeTravels thanks a lot; I didn’t know of puffins and was thinking of late April but obviously better in May or June or maybe late August escaping the summer heat and to have that fresh air
@juli8vdberg562 you have to spend a little more than some other countries because it is an island so things are generally expensive. It’s not as expensive as I thought and definitely rent a car!
@@LukeGeeTravels well of course.. it imports much of what it needs and surely requires a car to get around seeing places around the islands … tours are way too expensive and offer short time to hike and explore on your own
@@juli8vdberg562 I agree! One company you may want to look into is Guide to Faroe Islands and I would recommend at least one week to explore few of the islands. They're all very unique and have a lot to offer
Does homeowner insurance cover falling off the roof while mowing your lawn? I really love the white painted foundations. It makes everything so clean and historic feeling. The triangle modernist church is about as ugly as modern architecture gets. Thank you for the tour! It's an amazing look at a place I'll never visit but wish I could.
Lol, city. But I guess it is relative to the rest of the Faroes. My town is about the same population in Connecticut to the whole country. Torshavn is really fun though. I recommend visiting the Faroe Islands
Very relative but you’re right, thoroughly enjoyable, clean and not crowded at all city - which I loved! Where in connecticut are you from? I am hoping to make a roadtrip through the east coast, mainly coastal cities because I love lighthouses
Ehh, trying but i’ve been using my sony camera for future videos so you will definitely see some more quality! But yes the Faroes are really quiet which I absolutely loved not having to deal with places jam-packed with tourists
@@BobI-jb4rk I really appreciate that more than you know! Because of comments like yours I want to keep improving while continuing to share these parts of the world with everyone.
@@123rusty4 i’m not sure what you are referring to. If you’re referring to whale hunting, it’s a tradition that’s been passed on from generations. It’s how the faroese people survive, why is that wrong?
The Faroes are stunning. Home to one of my very favorite singers and musicians, Eivør. But try as I may, I just can't seem to wrap my head around Faroese. Finnish is much easier.
I know Faroes is a form of Danish. Many Faroese people speak Danish and English but you’re right it’s a hard language. Im going to Finland later this year and reading the names is a tongue twister
@@LukeGeeTravels It's not so bad. Emphasis is on the first syllable and every vowel is pronounced (usually). But there is a caution. Spoken Finnish is different from formal Finnish. So what you might read in a book is not what you'll hear on the streets.
Don't know why some youtubers (maybe sadly not surprising) don't do their research properly when they anyways try to mention factual things... Faroe islands are not a country it is part of the Danish Kingdom... Simple fact that's not difficult to get right!
I appreciate your comment, however, I did mention Faroe Islands are part of Kingdom of Denmark but they have their own government and are autonomous. To me, that signifies an independent country. We can agree to disagree
@Rene-kg7pf i do not get that deep into politics, I’m simply trying trying to share a general overview of the places I’m visiting. Sorry if this has upset you.
@LukeGeeTravels no its not about anything you say I express what I mean I don't hide anything... its like you have broken up in a relationship but still then see your ex (not totally on your own as you want or say you are) extra to that I say no matter how much you don't care about politics it is actually where its decided and agreed upon if you are a sovereign country or not... And also then if you are you will be on the UN list over countries right? You are not therr yet sorry how ever much you want to be... And yes I still believe in fact checking before making a video
@@LukeGeeTravelsevery state in the USA has a parliament (called State Legislature or General Assembly). Also, these states are more than autonomous, they're officially sovereign, just as the federal government. Yet, no one refers to Alaska, Hawaii or even Guam as countries, simply because it's not what they are. The same thing applies to the Faroe Islands. There is a principle in international law that to be considered a sovereign country, an entity must be able to enter into diplomatic relationships with other countries/governments. Apart from some limited aspects, and since 2005 only, the foreign relations of the Faroe Islands are handled by Denmark. Currently, the Faroe Islands are not a sovereign country, but maybe they will be in the future.
have you been there ? No with such a blunt answer. There's animal cruelty in EVERY country in the world. Don't judge a book by it's cover, read the damned pages !
I’m glad you understand😊 The Faroese people use the meat from these whales to survive and feed themselves, but people from the outside see a headline and judge without knowing the facts🤷🏼♂️
That’s a false accusation that media portrays. Please read further into what is actually happening, how the locals use the food and talk to the Faroese people to learn more!

Very beautiful but I thought It was still a part of the Kingdom of Denmark and not a fully independent country!
Thank you for clarifying! Hope you enjoyed the video
Wow , so beautiful Faroe 🇫🇴 islands . Greetings from beautiful tropical Hawaii islands ⛵️ 🏝
Thanks so much from watching! I have not been to Hawaii yet! What island are you from?
Two my favorite archipelagos Hawaii and Faroes❤
I loved my time in Torshavn! When we visited St. Olaf's there was nobody there and it was so peaceful. The Faroes are just wonderful.
The Faroes have such a unique landscape and yes- not many tourists make it there or even dare to explore! What time of the year did you go?
@@LukeGeeTravels My daughter and I went as part of Closed For Maintenance at the end of this past April. It was the best trip!
@@hiimterry2009 oh that’s awesome, I know Faroe Island does that every few years and I really love how they take care of their country!❤️
Is it weird I watched this because I have a pokemon go friend who lives there? That's so beautiful, I would love to visit.
Not at all, glad you enjoyed the video! It’s a beautiful city and country when you do go and visit!
Guess the Vikings playing Pokémon Go these days 🤷

Looks like somewhere in the Icelandic Westfjords.
I have never been but it’s on my list! Norway too! 🇳🇴

Thank for showing us around, tho!
Glad you liked the video!
The most beautiful country flag in my opinion 🇫🇴 🇫🇴 🇫🇴 🇫🇴
It is very aesthetic, I agree with you!
They are not fully independent they have autonomy but defence and other things is the responsibility of Denmark
I’ve learned that now as people have pointed out, I appreciate the comment!
Torshavn is the best city for living.
I really liked it’s charm, whats makes you think it’s the best?
how fast are the Amazon deliveries over there without Prime?
That I have no idea. I didn’t know amazon worked in europe😮

BEAUTIFUL VIEWS! 📸👀👌💥🌟🤗👍🏻NICE VLOG! THX.
Thank you for watching Pauline:)
You're very beautiful.
Thank you😅

What city is this capital of?
@@LukeGeeTravelscapital of Åland Islands
It’s based on capitals of countries @elfaarnadottir1216

Oh really! What other countries have you been to?
Sportwagen selbes Land wie die Escort-Dame
Visiting in September! Can't wait!
You’ll love it! Hope you get good weather! Keep in mind that if you’re looking to see puffins, they most likely will be gone by then
I like roof with grasses😮🎉🎉
It’s really good for the environment and it provides great insulation for the homes! I really love the Scandinavian architecture
Невероятная красота как в сказке❤
Yes it is! Beautiful country with magical landscape! I recommend people come to Faroe Islands🇫🇴❤️

Super 👍🏻 Good job.I loved this place.I hope one day I'll get a chance to visit Faroe islands
It’s a beautiful place to visit - I hope you get a chance to
Luke,you did such a great job,wow,I am speechless…Someday I hope I will get there also . Have a nice day ! 👊
Thank you! It’s a beautiful country, if you ever decide to visit, I have a whole playlist from Faroe Islands
Wow Nice your video love you From Bangladesh 💖💖🇧🇩🇧🇩
Thank you so much for watching! ❤️🇧🇩

Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel!
My dream destination
It’s so beautiful and the nature feels untouched! I highlyy recommend it!
How did you get permission to use the drone over Torshavn? I would love to bring my drone along next time going there.
I didn’t require any permission, most places around the islands - except near the airport - do not have any restrictions
I would like to move to the Faroe Islands. What would you recommend for me to do to move there?
I’m sorry but I have no idea what it takes to live there. It probably all depends what kind of jobs you’re looking for and how hard it is to get one
This one is great, no wonder the best one!😊🙏🏻👍🏻
I'm glad you think so! Thank you for watching Ming!
Wow very big city🤩
It is one of the smallest in Europe🙂
@@LukeGeeTravels no I live there it’s very big
@@yoyobase4638 ahh, okay! I thought you were joking at first

@WardDorrity I’ll just do my best! I learned that people appreciate the effort of visitors in their country!
Did you try any whale/orca whilst you stayed?
I did not:/ I looked for it but I skipped out on the fancy restaurants while in Torshavn due to the fact that I wanted to be within my budget
Tbh its really small and there's not much to do
It’s small but the old historic part is great to stroll through and it’s a perfect place to stay to start many adventures
Torshavn is the best city for living.
Do you currently live there?
INFACT I LOVE THIS FAROISAND TORSHAVN 👌👌
It’s a charming city for sure :)
