Faroe Islands – An Oceanic Wonder
The history of Faroe Islands is murky, if not mysterious. The location between the mighty Atlantic Ocean and Norwegian Sea is remote enough to be a curiosity and near enough a province of autonomy of Denmark to make it a great site for travelers. Vagar Airport receives flights from the largest Faroese airline, Atlantic Airways. One of the most interesting points about the Faroe Islands is the tunnels, bridges and causeways built under the ocean. Ferries connect the islands and travel on roadways is surprisingly modern.

A Faroe Island Adventure
Faroe Islands are unique. The people speak Faroese, a rarity among international languages. It’s Germanic in nature, while the culture is a combination of Celtic, Danish and Icelandic. The rich history of the Faroe Islands began with Celtic monks in the 6th century. The Faroese culture encompasses Nordic, Viking and Gaelic to create a rich history emblazened with early settlers influence.

Activities on Faroe Islands
For history buffs, there are artifacts and architectural interests to pursue. Classical music lovers enjoy the Faroe Islands Symphony. While the young prefer contemporary bands like “Boys in a Band”, “Gestir” and other modern rock influences. On July 29th each year, the grandest celebration of all is the feast of St. Olaf. Colorful parades, rowing competitions and sports events are a not-to-be-missed occasion to see the natural vigor of the Faroese. Visit the Nordic House for a taste of the true cultural tradition of this lively place.
