Faroe Islands 3-Day Self Drive


Suggested Itinerary
Denmark to the Faroe Islands
Depart from Copenhagen Airport and arrive at Vágar airport in the Faroe Islands.
Here your rental car will be waiting for you to being your self-drive discovery of the Faroe Islands.
Before you head into the capital city of Tórshavn we recommend you take a short sightseeing tour on the island. Our Nordic Experience Curators will share with you some recommended locations to visit.
Explore Torshavn
Spend the day exploring the capital city, Torshavn, there is the old part of town “úti áReyni” and the parliament “Tinganes” along with a variety of craft shops and charming cafés.
Then spend the afternoon discovering the historical village Kirkjubøur. The village is known as the old cultural centre of the Faroe Islands.
In the afternoon head out on Vestmanna sea cliffs excursions – a must to get to see the islands from the water.
In the evening enjoy a Faroese Culture Evening.
Explore the North
Today you will head out to discover the northern part of the island. This part of the Faroe Islands is composed of six small islands: Borðoy, Kunoy, Kalsoy, Viðoy, Svínoy and Fugloy. If you are interested in churches, we recommend a stop at Christians kirkjan in Klaksvík, known to be the most beautiful church on the island.
A drive to the northernmost village Viðareiði is highly recommended since the nature, mountains and surroundings are breathtaking. Return in the evening for you final night in Torshavn.
Travel back to Copenhagen
Take your morning flight back to Copenhagen and spend a night in the city – with the option of extending your stay here to discover more of the city or going further afield to see places such as Aarhus and Odense.

Amy was a great help with planning this trip. Our trip turned out amazing. I also was very grateful for Off the Map’s Front Desk service, which promptly handled an on the spot issue we had.
We really enjoyed our Norwegian adventure despite the -22 days! Unfortunately no real experience of viewing the Lights but we did capture a couple of images on our last night – too much cloud otherwise so lots of snow. We really enjoyed the husky lodge – not at all what we had tentatively imagined. Thanks for your assistance, maybe next time we will see the Lights in all their glory.
Well-organized trip to Norway and Svalbard with great accommodations and activities. Gwen was communicative and responsive to requests. Highly recommend!
What an amazing trip we are having. It is incredible. Many many thanks for arranging such an incredible trip.
I would thoroughly recommend this company. Their planning and advice was spot on. Alex responded to my calls and emails very promptly. I will definitely use them again for future trips.
The best travel experience ever on every level you can think of during a Lapland expedition (food, activities, timings, accommodation, transport, service, equipment…). I highly recommend Off The Map Travel for their outstanding level of professionalism and detail oriented mindset!
Off the Map Travel was great! Alex helped us plan the most amazing 10 day honeymoon to Iceland. He gave us great recommendations and was so patient with us during the planning process!
I used OTMT to organise a holiday to see the Northern Lights for my partner’s 50th birthday. They took the time to understand my priorities, the kinds of places we like to stay and the things we like to do. They recommended a fabulous itinerary in Norway centred around the Lyngen Experience Lodge. The holiday itself lived up to expectations and I have no hesitation in recommending OTMT. They listened carefully during the planning and delivered the perfect present for my partner.
Fantastic trip to Svalbard which delivered the true Arctic experience we were hoping for. The hotels were excellent and the activities – dog sledding and snowmobile expedition were lead by first class guides.
Top tip! The champagne tasting in the world’s most northerly wine cellar in the exceptional Funken Lodge is not to be missed!
Arctic Retreat was simply magical. Graham and his team were superb. Their entire focus was on ensuring we had an outstanding experience. The accommodation, setting and food were all excellent. The team, experienced professionals, each brought their own personal touch and local nuance. It was faultless. The dog sledging trip directly from Arctic Retreat was also superb. We would return to Arctic Retreat in a heartbeat.
My family and I traveled to Sweden to see The Northern Lights in March of 2023. From the planning process to every detail of the trip, I could not have been more pleased with our experience. Alex was exceptional to work with. His guidance on the time of year, where to stay, activities to do and how to get to and from everything was spot on. I have never used a tour company before but thought a trip of this kind would be easier with some help. I am so glad that I did. The entire week was seamless and completely stress-free, allowing us to truly enjoy Sweden and our time together as a family. I will be recommending Off The Map travel to friends and family and will certainly be using them myself again in the future.
We did! Everything was truly wonderful! I think the Holman Husky Lodge was our favourite place. Beautiful accommodations, but best of all, wonderful people! Everyone was so friendly and accommodating, excellent food, we really enjoyed our time there. We also greatly enjoyed Bergen! Opus XVI was beautiful and we loved being able to walk to restaurants and bars and take in the sights. All of our drivers were punctual and friendly. The itinerary was full but not overfull.
Thank you so much! It was an epic trip, we are taking home wonderful memories!
