View on Mullafossur and Gasadalur village
Scenic spot
👍👍 Free, about 15 minute drive from the airport, has a beautiful waterfall, a cafe that closes at 4pm, and is a nice, quaint place to check out.
There's a good trail that goes from the falls to behind the village and into the village. Worth checking out if you have the time.

Trælanípa
Tourist attraction
👍 Incredible place, we’ll worth the hike! Standing on the edge of the cliffs is breathtaking. You are permitted to fly your drone here - make sure it’s not too windy the day you go!
Also there are many sheep along the way.
Only 1 star off for the steep price for the hike though.

Koks Restaurant
Restaurant
👍👍 Did you ever think what is really out there, behind the end of the world?
Well, think Koks.
Most of the people I met didn't even know where is Faro Island, then driving to Koks seams even more mysteriously.
Parking at the lake, then taken by their restaurant's SUV, driven by one of the chefs on a di...

Fish & Chips Klaksvík
Restaurant
👍👍 Simple but delicious fish and chips, much needed on a cold day in the faroes, especially when every other restaurant is closed. A big relief to have hot food from a friendly owner :) My husband and I ordered an extra large to share and it was just nice. Thank you!

Kallur Lighthouse
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Absolutely stunning!! Not to be missed in the Faroese.
The trail is super easy and short, and the views so rewarding.
Lots of tourists but there is space for everyone and you can go at your own pace with the different ferry/bus schedules.
The ridge might be a bit intimidating with strong winds or if...
