As well as being voted the #1 favourite travel destination by **National Geographic** readers, the Faroe Islands are truly one of the few remaining last frontiers, sitting at the top of the world, breathing the freshest of air and looking down on the hustle, bustle and occasional sheer madness of the rest of the world below with a wry and sometimes, self-satisfied smile.

The scenery that makes up the 18 islands is well documented and spectacular, deserving of it's comparisons to a Tolkien landscape, the Lilliput of Gulliver's Travels and the land that the Gods chose to be the weather's playground.  With several new Faroe Islands hotels and Airbnb Faroe Islands growing strongly, there is now more choice of accommodation type than ever before.

## Footsteps of the Vikings!

**Pick up from your accommodation Tórshavn**

15 minute drive to the start of our walking tour, past *Mannafelsdalur*, the site of a bloody Viking battle 700 years ago where mounds of grass still grow with a red hue, said to be the blood of the slain Viking rebels, while in the distance, the NATO radar listening station nestled high above the Faroese landscape reminds us of more modern conflict.

We will soon be greeted by panoramic and truly breathtaking views overlooking Vágoy and Trøllkonufingur....a photographer's dream! .... and a landscape that would grace a Tolkien legend.

We then walk over the ridge to an open landscape with lake views at Vatnsdalur and down to Norðadalur, with spectacular views of the islands Hestoy and Koltur, where we will pause for Faroese delicacies and refreshments, before taking a short drive into the capital, Tórshavn.

Here we will take a historic tour of the ancient and narrow cobbled streets that wind in and out of the traditional wooden, grass-roofed houses that truly define the Faroe Islands and on to Tinganes, to explore the ancient site and traditional red wood, grass-roofed buildings of the oldest parliament in the world. A truly iconic image of the heart of the Faroe Islands!
