The Faroe Islands are an archipelago found 200 miles north of the UK and roughly halfway between Norway and Iceland. It’s reportedly an autonomous country that is also part of Denmark’s kingdom. One of Europe’s most idyllic nations, visitors feel as if they’re a million miles from anywhere else due in part to its stunning natural scenery and small populace. Foodies note the diet here is a simple one of meat (or seafood) and potatoes with notably few vegetables.
Alesund is both a municipality and a town. It’s located in Mre og Romsdal County. No winter holiday list is complete without this west coast winter wonderland. It was often called “Little London” back when the Norwegian resistance fought the Nazis during the occupation. Blend in with all the friendly locals. Take in the world-famous Art Nouveau architecture, various antique stores, unique little shops, and the beautiful natural coastline that surrounds this pretty place.
