The Faroe Islands feel smaller, quieter and more intimate, with colourful villages, grass-roofed houses, dramatic fjords and coastal scenery. If you love glaciers, volcanoes, road trips and otherworldly landscapes, Iceland may be the better choice. If you prefer peaceful villages, coastal hiking, misty mountains and a slower travel experience, the Faroe Islands may stay in your memory for longer. Weather, road conditions, accommodation availability and prices can change. Always check current local information before travelling. Which one would you choose?
