An idyllic, misty view of Sandavágur! I was on my way to the otherworldly Trøllkonufingur! Trøllkonufingur was one of the best sights on Vágar Island and one of the highlights of my trip. But, I also enjoyed the walk to and from there! I hiked about 12 KM that entire day and it was well worth it.

Sandavágur has been voted the most well-kept village in the Faroes twice. And it's the most famous "city" in the country, and best voted traveling experience. Although, not an actual city at all - the population is only around 861! The name Sandavágur means sandy bay and refers to the sandy beach which used to be much larger than present. From one point in Sandavágur you can get a view of all the southern islands in the Faroes. And the red-roofed church seen in this photo is one of the best in the Faroe Islands! In fact, members of the Danish Royal Family were there 1 day after I was! I even saw their motorcade as they were continuing on their journey. A pretty cool experience, too ;).

I took this photo on August 25th.

"Lilja, the host, was very warm and inviting. Lovely town. Excellent place to stay. "

"Nice place right on the harbour with fantastic views"

"The tranquility is a rare quality in a popular hotel. We spent three exhausting days of 10-12 hours sightseeing but we felt fully recovered the next day for a new journey as we were never disturbed by any noise or sound."

"Me and my friend enjoyed our stay here, and would easily chose this hotel again for a second visit to Faroe. Conveniently located in the middle of the archipelago, in a town with at least a few dining options. Good parking opportunities (also a nearby overflow parking lot when it’s full in front of the hotel). The breakfast was good and the staff was excellent. Always friendly and helpful with whatever question we had. "

"The apartment is updated and was very clean. It is spacious and allows for folks to spread out, with a couch seating area and a kitchen seating area. The kitchen had necessary amenities for light cooking or eating takeaway or making tea/coffee. Parking is easy and nearby. The check in and out processes were very easy. It is close enough to the center of town that you can easily walk to the grocery stores, some restaurants, some shops, and even the ferry. It is a great location to explore the...

Hotel Brandan

10/10 Excellent

"Room was updated, modern and spacious. Shower was great. Especially nice after long days of hiking. The staff was extremely friendly and also very helpful and accommodating. The food was very good. They had a very nice breakfast buffet. We did eat at the restaurant one evening and the food was wonderful. It was very easy to travel to the harbor area / Tinganes and very quick and easy to get to the main roads in order to tour the islands. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

62N Guesthouse - City Center

10/10 Excellent

"I used this as the base for the Torshavn Marathon so being close to the start was the critical requirement for me. The 62N Guesthouse was perfect. Rooms maybe a little basic but it is a Guesthouse, however, the breakfasts were excellent and everything was walkable so a great base to explore the capital city. No real parking at the hotel but plenty near by that allowed us to park the hire car so we could explore the wider islands. "
