Trip shapes
How long, and what fits
Shapes rather than scripts. Every day says whether it needs a car, whether the weather can ruin it, and what to do instead if it does.
Three days
A long weekend built around Tórshavn and Vágar, without a night wasted in transit.
Five days
Two bases — Tórshavn and the north — which is the shape most first trips should take.
Seven days
Enough time to include either Mykines or Suðuroy, and to lose a day to weather without losing the trip.
Four days without a car
A genuinely car-free trip that does not pretend you can reach places you cannot.
The car decision shapes these more than the length does. If you are not driving, start here instead.
