Faroe Islands - A Secret Beauty

PLAY


Discover heroic stories in one of the most remote regions of Europe.

The Faroe Islands in the North Atlantic, located in the middle of the Gulf Stream between Scotland and Iceland, are an archipelago of eighteen green volcanic islands where a unique culture has developed over the last thousand years.

As direct descendants of the Vikings, the Faroese feel committed to their traditions and hold on to customs, without missing out on the advantages of the modern and globalised world - from archaic hunter and shepherd culture to contemporary art. With the highest birth rate in Europe and the lowest social inequality in the world, the just fifty thousand Faroese are a very special people living on one of the last natural paradises in Europe.
