Crime in the Faroe Islands

The Faroe Islands are known for being a door-left-unlocked destination. It is a safe place to visit for both male and female travellers.

Crime is pretty much nonexistent and the islands have perhaps the lowest crime rate in the world. So when you lie down for the night, you are sure to have a good night's sleep with worries.

There are no reported crimes involving pickpocketing, thefts from hotel rooms and bag/purse-snatching. And there has never been a reported violent crime against any traveller from abroad.

Many locals keep their cars and houses unlock simply because they are not used to any crime. This is common across the entire archipelago including the capital, Tórshavn.

Tórshavn is the most populous city in the Faroe Islands with some 20.000 friendly people most of them home-owners. The capital is safe and you will never, never feel inconvenient when walking on the streets. You are always safe when walking around alone.

• The most common religion in Faroe Islands is Faroese Evangelical Lutheran
• Don't feel obliged to make formalities in casual conversations - they are initiated and closed with expressions such as "Good day" and "Farewell" without formalities as handshaking or kissing. People face each other slightly obliquely.
• Don't forget to handshake when greeting (men). Women usually greet with light kisses on both cheeks (”air kisses” where you just touch cheeks and kiss the air), a handshake is common on first meeting. Eye contact is important.
• Don't smack or slurp - it's not appreciated.
• Don't - Avoid eye contact business and personal conversations. It's a sign of courtesy.
• Don't forget to disrobe completely before you sauna - bring a towel (only) if you are shy.
• Don't enter buses, trains or similar before everyone who wants to get out has done so.
• Don't forget to wear reflectors when riding a bike or walking at dark.

Do I need travel insurance to travel to Faroe Islands?

Travel insurance is very important when traveling overseas. We strongly recommend that you take out cover to travel to Faroe Islands. You can usually take out single trip or annual multi-trip cover to give you peace of mind should anything happen.

It can be a better and cheaper option to take annual multi-trip cover as it usually covers any number of trips taken in one year with a maximum of up to around 60 days away per trip.

We work with the top names in the industry and have already pre-selected the easiest, cheapest and best quality travel insurance on the market to save you time and money trying to find the best cover.

Travel insurance typically covers the following; however, you can tailor a policy to suit your needs depending on where you are traveling to, your activities and how long you are away.

• Medical Expenses
  Medical treatment can be extremely costly and add up very quickly, and include Overnight stays in hospital, minor or major surgery, accident and emergency treatment, drugs, COVID-19 treatment, journey home if you cannot use the original ticket, dental treatment, and many more unexpected expenses.
• Baggage and personal belongings
  If your baggage is lost, stolen, damaged or delayed it is extremely frustrating. If you must buy new clothes, toiletry products or personal belongings it can be very expensive and time consuming.
• Cancellation
  Sometimes due to unforeseen circumstances you may need to cancel your trip. This could be due to several reasons such as illness, injury, a bereavement or many other scenarios. Usually airlines, tour operators and hotels have large cancellation fees, so buying travel insurance that covers this is recommended.
