Where are the Faroe Islands?
Faroe Islands, Faroe Islands (Far. Føroyar [Føroyar] “Sheep Islands”; Danish Færøerne, Norse Færøyene) is an autonomous region and group of islands in the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean between Scotland (Shetland islands) and Iceland.
The islands are part of the Kingdom of Denmark, but since 1948 they have independently resolved internal state issues.

What makes the Faroe Islands unique?
The Faroe Islands are made up of many islands.
The main natural attractions of the Faroe Islands are their nature – picturesque waterfalls, cliffs and lakes.
On the islands you can enjoy distinctive architecture. And in the capital of the archipelago, Tórshavn, many ancient buildings have been preserved.
Trees are a rarity in the Faroe Islands. But there is a lot of grass here.
Villages in the Faroe Islands are usually small – about a dozen houses, which stand out as bright spots against the backdrop of lush greenery and rocks. Their bright green roofs, covered with grass, immediately catch your eye – this is an ancient way to protect housing from the rains that fall here almost constantly. Local sheep are indispensable helpers for Faroese residents. They often use animals instead of lawnmowers. Sheep eat grass not only in front of houses, but also on roofs. They are not at all afraid of heights and quickly return the roof to a neat appearance.
The island of Mykines is home to a huge number of puffins. You can watch these bright and very noisy birds on the coast from May until the beginning of autumn.
What documents are needed to get married on the islands?
If original documents are not available in English, they must be translated by an authorized translator before you send them to us.
The waiting period for a wedding is from 4 weeks or more.
The wedding ceremony takes place in the city hall of the capital of the Faroe Islands, Tórshavn.
