Cheap Flights to Faroe Islands

Useful advice for travelling to the Faroe Islands (FO)

It is often said that there are more sheep than people, living in the Faroe Islands. However, woolly sheep are not the only thing worth seeing in this Atlantic Ocean country. Flights to the Faroe Islands are perfect holiday trips for those who seek cosiness and calmness, are not wary of fog crawling along the ground, and who truly appreciate wild nature, soft coolness of the climate, and fresh sea food.

Preparing for the trip

For Lithuanian travellers, no visa is required to enter the Faroe Islands. There are no compulsory vaccinations required either. However, in order to feel entirely safe, you should apply for health insurance and get re-vaccinated against tetanus and diphtheria as a precaution.

Transportation and travel charges

Transportation is as easily accessible in the Faroe Islands as it is in Denmark. Public transport consists of buses and ferries, both of which arrive according to a frequent and precise timetable. You may also travel using taxis, bikes, or rental cars. Depending different rental companies’ rules, only those who are 20 to 25 years or older may rent a car.

You can pay for your purchases using official local currency, the Faroese króna, which is equivalent to the Danish krone (DKK). One Faroese króna is equal to approximately 0.134 euro. Living costs in the Faroe Islands are higher than in Lithuania. For example, you can have lunch in a cheap restaurant for 100 Faroese krónur and buy a cappuccino for about 35. In local shops, you can buy one kilogram of cheese for about 85 krónur, and one kilogram of chicken breast for roughly 97. A 4-day public transport card will cost about 400 krónur, while a 7-day card costs 700, and a one kilometre long taxi ride will cost you about 10 krónur.

Additional information:

• Official languages of the Islands are Faroese and Danish.
• The country uses the UTC +0 time zone, switched to UTC +1 at summer.
• Direct distance from Vilnius to the Faroe Islands’ capital city Tórshavn is 2044 kilometres.

Best return gifts choices

Dried, salted, marinated and otherwise prepared seafood will make great return gifts to every gourmet lover. Warm vests, sweaters, and hats made from sheep wool will help your friends and loved ones through the Lithuanian winters. You could also buy some finely made wood and ceramics goods.

Northern landscapes, fresh air, ocean waves, hospitable locals, and comfortable accommodation all make the Faroe Islands one of the very best holiday destination points in the world.
