Vágar

It only takes around one hour by plane from Edinburgh to the Faroe Islands – a fantastic destination for travellers who want to experience a truly unique Nordic destination. With stunning unspoiled nature, fresh air, world-class gastronomy, and rich cultural history, the Faroe Islands are a hidden gem in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

The archipelago composed of 18 volcanic islands lies northwest of Scotland and halfway between Iceland and Norway.

The airport is situated on the island of Vagar, only 45 minutes by car from the capital, Torshavn. 

Atlantic Airways connects Edinburgh to the Faroe Islands two times a week from March to December, and with our low fare calendar, you can always find the cheapest flights to the Faroe Islands.
