Gjógv Natural Harbor
Tourist attraction
👍 There’s no amount of pictures that can do justice to this beautiful village. It’s beautiful. Make sure you are aware of the local laws and respect the Faroese people’s privacy.

Fossá
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Super scenic spot, I recommend to go above the lower level waterfall and reach the cave behind the upper waterfall. Going up is a bit tricky and requires climbing but it gives you the full experience

👍👍 Super cute cafe and family run! The cafe serves coffee out of a thermos and sells a few other chocolate bars. The owner was super friendly, there’s interesting books and art pieces lining the walls and the view out the window was gorgeous.

Rose's Restaurant & Catering
Restaurant
👍👍 What drew us here was the great reviews and Rose’s Cafe lived up to those reviews. We got there early but Rose was kind and opened a bit early for us. The Cafe is located on the water with incredible views. The setting along the fjord alone is incredible. Parking is ample. The interior is intimate w...

Crownprincess Mary’s bench
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Some locals dove off a little beyond this point which was fun to watch.
Walk along the cliff on the other side, at the minimum go a short distance to get a picture of the entire village with the gorge. You can also hike up to the sheep shed and see the bird cliff, about 45-60 min return, along the...

Út á Lónna - Black Beach Saksun

👍👍 A must see. Amazing hike on black sand with stunning views of waterfalls and the small villages. Can be completed around noon when the waters are low, but still very enjoyable all day long. Need to pay at the hike entrance. Highly recommended.

Camping
Campground
🫤 The amount of money you pay for a spot here is far from reasonable. I paid 200kr for only one night on my own for a tent spot. For half the amount (100kr) you get much more facilities on other campsites around. As there are here only 2 toilets you can use and it has no indoor area or whatsoever. Th...
