People mainly visit the Faroes because of the stunning scenery and nature. The tranquillity of the islands also plays a major part. You can go horseback riding, mountain hiking or on boat trips to enjoy the magnificent wild landscape. Or you can drive around exploring the islands in your own car. Because the islands are located so close to the Arctic Circle, the amount of daylight varies by season. The sun sets briefly in June, leading to a few hours of twilight before the sun comes back up again. During the winter there are only about five hours of daylight, but there are no days of complete darkness.
