The Faroe Islands are decidedly low-key and so are its accommodations. Rather than five-star resorts, you’ll find small hotels and family-run guesthouses, most of which are located in the capital city of Tórshavn. Though basic, accommodations here are not without their charms, offering everything from traditional restaurants to jazz nights with Faroese musicians.

Take something back home to remind you of this beautiful city. Buy cheeses, sausages, tins of fish, and, of course, wine. Find souvenirs among the tiles, T-shirts, cork products, and those lovely Portuguese soaps.

Fatima is one of the most important religious pilgrimage sites in the world. Pilgrims travel to Fatima year round but the 13th of the months of May to October are the days that celebrate the apparitions of the Virgin Mary to the three shepherd children at the Cova da Iria ( a valley) in the parish of Fatima in 1917. On those days you may be in a crowd of thousands of pilgrims many of whom arrived from hours away on foot. A pilgrimage to this holy site is a very special experience.
