The three words usually associated with the Faroe Islands – a nation of 18 islands between Iceland, Norway and Scotland – are ‘world’s most remote’. You can tack it onto ‘marathon’, ‘Michelin star’ and now even ‘underground roundabout’.

You can also fly via Copenhagen and Discover The World can organise trips.
