Practical tips for Faroe Islands
- Renting a car is essential for exploring the remote islands, but watch for free-roaming sheep and keep headlights on at all times.
- Credit and debit cards are universally accepted everywhere, even in tiny villages, though the local currency is the Faroese króna (pegged 1:1 to the Danish krone).
- Weather changes rapidly across four seasons in a single afternoon, so pack sturdy waterproof boots and dress in warm, windproof layers.
Fun fact about Faroe Islands
There are significantly more sheep than humans in the Faroe Islands, and sheep were once fitted with 3D-printed cameras to help map the islands for Google Street View (aptly named 'Sheep View 360').
