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.

5/5 Excellent

"Loved our stay! It was super clean with comfortable beds and a good hot shower. It had AMAZING shampoo, body wash and hand soap! Nespresso pods in the room was a nice touch. Beautiful view of the sea. VERY limited TV. One of the nicest breakfasts we have ever had, with lots of international and Faroese options. Nice walk downhill into town which helped to find nice places to eat and then you burn it all off walking back up. The views alone are worth it."
