the same village. Towns didn’t start to appear until very late. For instance, the capital, Tórshavn, only counted about 100 inhabitants in 1900, whereas today the number has increased to nearly 20,000. In the Faroe Islands the traditional village was to a certain extent self-sufficient. Historically there was a limit to how many families it could support. When the fishing industry took off in 1872, it was the beginning of the end for the traditional way of life in the small villages as fishing replaced farming and the growing population chose to settle in the fast growing towns instead.</p> <p id="mwMQ">Today there are still over a hundred villages in the Faroe Islands. Nearly every one of them is situated near the ocean, and to new visitors they may all seem to be very much alike. The houses are either painted in bright colours or the traditional black, whilst the roofs are often turf covered. The buildings are usually built very close to each other, which is very cosy. Each village is surrounded by a cultivated infield, and surrounding it is the uncultivated outfield. In most places the sheep occupy the outfield throughout the year.</p> <section data-mw-section-id="3" id="mwMg"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwApQ"><h3 id="Towns">Towns</h3><span

title="Denmark" id="mwjA">Denmark</a>, although they aim politically for greater independence. The islands have a population of 51,000 (2018), and a language and culture of their own.</p> <p id="mwjQ">The Faroese tourist season is very short. It begins in May and ends by September. Most visitors come between July and August by far. If you would like to avoid the busiest season, it is best to visit the Faroes in late May or early June. The Faroese weather has its own temperament and is a lot like the weather in neighbouring regions, just more unpredictable.</p> <p id="mwjg">One of the main reasons that people visit the Faroe Islands is the incredible nature and scenery. The Faroe Islands turn extraordinarily green during the summertime. The fresh air, the deep blue ocean, the vertical sea cliffs and the green mountains with their picturesque valleys, is something which would amaze anyone who enjoys being surrounded by nature.</p> <p id="mwjw">There are bus rides, horse trekking, mountain hikes and boat trips which allow you to enjoy the magnificent wild green landscape. Sometimes the summer fog creates a mystical landscape, in which you may vividly imagine the great history and mystical stories belonging to the islands. Some have said that when the landscape is surrounded by this sort of weather it reminds them of the landscape in J.R.R Tolkien's <i id="mwkA">The Lord of the Rings</i> trilogy.</p> <p id="mwkQ">The tranquility of the islands are great if you want to escape from big city madness. The Faroese love to take things easy and are not at all worried about arriving on time. But if you ever find yourself in the mood for a night out in town, you will find that Tórshavn caters for your every need with its great shops, bars, cafés and restaurants.</p> <p id="mwkg">Because the islands are so close to the Arctic Circle, the amount of daylight varies by season. The sun sets briefly each night in June, so there are several hours of twilight, before the sun comes back up again. During the winter there are no days of complete darkness, but about five hours of daylight.</p> <p id="mwkw">The Faroe Islands' primary industry is the fishing industry and the islands have one of the smallest independent economic entities in the world. The fishing industry accounts for over 80% of the total export value of goods, which are mainly processed fish products and fish farming. Tourism is the second largest industry, followed by woollen and other manufactured products. The unemployment rate in the Faroes is extremely low. The Faroese are trying to diversify their economy, but are divided about how to go about it. Most Faroese people work in the public sector as teachers, caretakers or having office jobs, etc. The rise in the public sector workforce is highlighted by the fact that it is getting less and less popular to work in the fishing industry, and the private sector isn't big enough to support an educated and more demanding workforce.</p> <section data-mw-section-id="7" id="mwlA"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwAqw"><h3 id="People">People</h3><span class="mw-editsection" id="mwAq0"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAq4">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Faroe_Islands&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: People" id="mwAq8"><span id="mwArA">edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwArE">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb" id="mwlQ"><a href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Tambar,_a_20_feet_Faroese_wooden_boat,_belonging_to_the_rowing_club_Róðrarfelagið_Knørrur._Photo_by_Ólavur_Frederiksen,_July_21,_2019.jpg" class="mw-file-description" id="mwlg"><img resource="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Tambar,_a_20_feet_Faroese_wooden_boat,_belonging_to_the_rowing_club_Róðrarfelagið_Knørrur._Photo_by_Ólavur_Frederiksen,_July_21,_2019.jpg" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/Tambar%2C_a_20_feet_Faroese_wooden_boat%2C_belonging_to_the_rowing_club_R%C3%B3%C3%B0rarfelagi%C3%B0_Kn%C3%B8rrur._Photo_by_%C3%93lavur_Frederiksen%2C_July_21%2C_2019.jpg/260px-Tambar%2C_a_20_feet_Faroese_wooden_boat%2C_belonging_to_the_rowing_club_R%C3%B3%C3%B0rarfelagi%C3%B0_Kn%C3%B8rrur._Photo_by_%C3%93lavur_Frederiksen%2C_July_21%2C_2019.jpg" decoding="async" data-file-width="4840" data-file-height="2723" data-file-type="bitmap" height="146" width="260" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/Tambar%2C_a_20_feet_Faroese_wooden_boat%2C_belonging_to_the_rowing_club_R%C3%B3%C3%B0rarfelagi%C3%B0_Kn%C3%B8rrur._Photo_by_%C3%93lavur_Frederiksen%2C_July_21%2C_2019.jpg/390px-Tambar%2C_a_20_feet_Faroese_wooden_boat%2C_belonging_to_the_rowing_club_R%C3%B3%C3%B0rarfelagi%C3%B0_Kn%C3%B8rrur._Photo_by_%C3%93lavur_Frederiksen%2C_July_21%2C_2019.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/Tambar%2C_a_20_feet_Faroese_wooden_boat%2C_belonging_to_the_rowing_club_R%C3%B3%C3%B0rarfelagi%C3%B0_Kn%C3%B8rrur._Photo_by_%C3%93lavur_Frederiksen%2C_July_21%2C_2019.jpg/520px-Tambar%2C_a_20_feet_Faroese_wooden_boat%2C_belonging_to_the_rowing_club_R%C3%B3%C3%B0rarfelagi%C3%B0_Kn%C3%B8rrur._Photo_by_%C3%93lavur_Frederiksen%2C_July_21%2C_2019.jpg 2x" class="mw-file-element" id="mwlw"/></a><figcaption id="mwmA">Young rowers of Róðrarfelagið Knørrur</figcaption></figure> <p id="mwmQ">The Faroes were colonised by Norwegians in the 9th century – according to history the first settler was Grímur Kamban, a Norwegian Viking who made his home in <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Funningur?action=edit&redlink=1" title="Funningur (page does not exist)" class="new" typeof="mw:LocalizedAttrs" id="mwmg" data-mw-i18n='{"title":{"lang":"x-page","key":"red-link-title","params":["Funningur"]}}'>Funningur</a> on <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Eysturoy" title="Eysturoy" id="mwmw">Eysturoy</a> in 825.

The main ting was established on Tinganes in Tórshavn and local tings were established in various parts of the islands. Around the turn of the millennium, the Faroes came under the control of the Norwegian king. In 1380 the Faroes, along with <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Orkney_Islands" title="Orkney Islands" id="mwpg"> Orkney</a>, <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Shetland_Islands" title="Shetland Islands" id="mwpw"> Shetland</a>, <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Iceland" title="Iceland" id="mwqA">Iceland</a> and <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Greenland" title="Greenland" id="mwqQ">Greenland</a>, joined <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Norway" title="Norway" id="mwqg">Norway</a> in a union with <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Denmark" title="Denmark" id="mwqw">Denmark</a>. At the end of the Napoleonic wars, in 1814, the Treaty of Kiel forced Denmark to cede Norway to <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Sweden" title="Sweden" id="mwrA">Sweden</a>, but it kept the Faroes, Iceland, and Greenland. Two years later, in 1816, the Faroes became a Danish county and the old parliament was abolished. The Danish Governor became the highest authority in the Faroes.</p> <p id="mwrQ">In 1849 the Danish parliamentary constitution was made to apply in the Faroe Islands. In 1852 the Faroese parliament was reinstated as a county council, but served mainly as an advisory power. The Danish governor presided at all meetings and was a co-opted member. At the same time, the Faroes came to be represented in the Danish parliament. Although the Faroe Islands recognise the Royal powers, they have never been a part of Denmark, only the Danish kingdom.</p> <p id="mwrg">During World War II, Denmark was occupied by the Germans, while the Faroes had a friendly occupation by the British. During this time the Faroese parliament carried both the legislative and the fiscal responsibility. The Faroese people had a taste of self-government and a return to the status quo seemed impossible.</p> <p id="mwrw">After a referendum, which led to a very small majority voting for independence, in 1946 negotiations took place between the two countries and the outcome was the Home Rule Act in 1948. The Faroese were from then on responsible for most matters of government except for foreign affairs and defence. The parliament may legislate on matters of local importance and Danish laws may be rejected. The parliament has between twenty-seven and thirty-two members. The leader of the cabinet has the status of prime minister. The Faroes are still represented in the Danish parliament by two representatives. Also, since 1970 the Faroes have had independent status in the Nordic Council. Furthermore, the Faroes have their own flag (Merkið). Unlike Denmark, the islands are not a member of the EU or the Schengen Area, and all trade is governed by special treaties.</p> </section><section data-mw-section-id="9" id="mwsA"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3" id="mwArg"><h3 id="Climate">Climate</h3><span class="mw-editsection" id="mwArk"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAro">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Faroe_Islands&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Climate" id="mwArs"><span id="mwArw">edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAr0">]</span></span></div> <p id="mwsQ">The weather is maritime and quite unpredictable.

During the summer the islands are often overcast by summer fog. The Gulf Stream south of the islands tempers the climate. The harbours never freeze and the temperature in winter time is very moderate considering the high latitude. Snowfall occurs, but it is short-lived. The average temperature ranges from 3°C in the wintertime to 11°C during the summer.

Students, children and pensioners are eligible for discounts on fares provided they show a student or pensioner identity card. There is a four-day travel card meant for tourists which is valid for all buses and ferries. It is well worth its price if you are planning to get around the islands by public transport.</p> <p id="mwAXg">The buses are equipped with radios.

The red coloured-buses operate every half-hour during the day throughout the week and hourly on weekday evenings. The buses don't operate on Saturday or on Sunday evening which can be inconvenient for tourists.

Firstly, most people speak English, so you can have a meaningful conversation with insights into their culture. Secondly, locals are also curious about travellers, and they like to show them places, too. So people would drive out of their way to show you interesting places, chatting along the way. Faroese people enjoy driving around the islands and admiring their beauty. Thirdly, the islands have a decent economy, allowing people to purchase vehicles, so the roads have enough cars on them. Fourthly, the low population and excellent education system mean crime is low. Last but not least, distances are very short, so you will not be stuck with the same person for a long time.</p> <p id="mwAYg">Considering car rental prices, the infrequency of public transport, ease of hitchhiking and short distances, hitchhiking is the best way to explore the islands. You will usually get picked up by the first or second car to pass.</p> </section></section><section data-mw-section-id="25" id="mwAYk"><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2" id="mwAxg"><h2 id="See">See</h2><span class="mw-editsection" id="mwAxk"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAxo">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Faroe_Islands&action=edit&section=25" title="Edit section: See" id="mwAxs"><span id="mwAxw">edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" id="mwAx0">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb" id="mwAYo"><a href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Hesturin_and_Beinisvord,_Vertical_Cliffs_of_Suduroy,_Faroe_Islands.JPG" class="mw-file-description" id="mwAYs"><img resource="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/File:Hesturin_and_Beinisvord,_Vertical_Cliffs_of_Suduroy,_Faroe_Islands.JPG" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b5/Hesturin_and_Beinisvord%2C_Vertical_Cliffs_of_Suduroy%2C_Faroe_Islands.JPG/220px-Hesturin_and_Beinisvord%2C_Vertical_Cliffs_of_Suduroy%2C_Faroe_Islands.JPG" decoding="async" data-file-width="3648" data-file-height="2736" data-file-type="bitmap" height="165" width="220" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b5/Hesturin_and_Beinisvord%2C_Vertical_Cliffs_of_Suduroy%2C_Faroe_Islands.JPG/330px-Hesturin_and_Beinisvord%2C_Vertical_Cliffs_of_Suduroy%2C_Faroe_Islands.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b5/Hesturin_and_Beinisvord%2C_Vertical_Cliffs_of_Suduroy%2C_Faroe_Islands.JPG/440px-Hesturin_and_Beinisvord%2C_Vertical_Cliffs_of_Suduroy%2C_Faroe_Islands.JPG 2x" class="mw-file-element" id="mwAYw"/></a><figcaption id="mwAY0">Beinisvørð in <a rel="mw:WikiLink" href="//en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Suðuroy" title="Suðuroy" id="mwAY4">Suðuroy</a> is a 470<span typeof="mw:Entity" id="mwAY8"> </span>m high sea cliff.</figcaption></figure> <ul id="mwAZA"><li id="mwAZE"><bdi class="vcard" about="#mwt117" typeof="mw:Transclusion" id="mwAZI" data-mw='{"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"see\n","href":"./Template:See"},"params":{"name":{"wt":"Slættaratindur"},"alt":{"wt":""},"url":{"wt":""},"email":{"wt":""},"address":{"wt":""},"lat":{"wt":""},"long":{"wt":""},"directions":{"wt":"[[Eysturoy]]"},"phone":{"wt":""},"tollfree":{"wt":""},"hours":{"wt":""},"price":{"wt":""},"wikidata":{"wt":"Q738746"},"image":{"wt":"Slættaratindur,_Faroe_Islands.JPG"},"lastedit":{"wt":"2021-01-30"},"content":{"wt":"At 880 m, is the highest mountain in the Faroe Islands.
