Honeymoon in Faroe Islands
Dizzying cliffs, waterfalls falling into the ocean, and the edge of the world in the North Atlantic
Honeymoon Score
Overview
The Faroe Islands, an untamed archipelago in the middle of the North Atlantic, is the perfect honeymoon destination for couples who shun the tropics and seek the majestic solitude of Nordic nature. Emerald green cliffs dropping vertically into the ocean, monumental waterfalls like Mulafossur, and empty scenic roads create a melancholic, cozy atmosphere for cinematic romance by the fireplace of a traditional turf-roofed cabin.
Pros
- Unparalleled dramatic and cinematic landscapes
- Absolute peace and disconnection in cozy Scandinavian cabins
- Very easy to explore by rental car
Cons
- Extremely changeable and unpredictable weather (frequent rain and fog)
- Very high prices typical of Nordic countries
- Limited dining and nightlife options outside the capital
