Road trips to the Faroe Islands
The best way to explore the Faroe Islands is to rent a car at the airport and take a round trip. It was not so congested, and we found the roads to be easy to drive.
Make sure you also walk along the scenic roads known as Buttercup Roads. These are a little narrower and windier than usual, but it will take you through the beautiful scenery.
