The Faroe Islands are beautiful but not cheap — on a par with Iceland and Norway. Set your trip length, group size and travel style below for a realistic estimate in your own currency. These are guide figures, not quotes.
What drives the cost
Accommodation
The biggest variable. Guesthouses and self-catering are far cheaper than hotels, which are limited and book up fast in summer.
Food
Restaurants are pricey; supermarkets (Bónus, FK) are reasonable. Cooking some meals cuts costs sharply.
Car & tunnels
A rental car is near-essential. Budget for fuel and the tolled Vágar & Eysturoy subsea tunnels (paid online).
Ferries & tours
The Mykines ferry, boat tours and the Kalsoy ferry add up — but many hikes and viewpoints are free.
Trip cost FAQ
For a mid-range couple with a hire car and ferries, a week often lands around 20,000–30,000 DKK plus flights. Budget travellers can do it for noticeably less, luxury travellers considerably more. Use the calculator above for your own numbers.
