The Faroe Islands are currently closed to Britons, but hopefully not for long

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’.
Now on the UK’s green list, this charming and self-governing Nordic nation of 52,000 people has its border controlled by Denmark, which for Brits means essential travel only. However, Denmark is now open to tourism from all EU and Schengen countries, and the UK is likely to be favoured by the time Atlantic Airways begins flying from Edinburgh in July. You can also fly via Copenhagen and Discover The World can organise trips.
