The Faroe Islands are an archipelago of 18 islands (17 of which are inhabited), located approximately halfway between Norway and Iceland. In 2017, the population of the islands was estimated to be approximately 50,000 people. The majority of citizens are ethnic Faroese, although people of Norse and Celtic descent are also represented.
The Faroe Islands are a self-governing nation within the Kingdom of Denmark. In this presidential democracy, the Prime Minister of the Faroe Islands is the head of government and the Queen of Denmark, represented by a High Commissioner in the Faroe Islands, is the chief of state. Although part of the Kingdom of Denmark, the Faroe Islands have had much autonomy since the 1948 Home Rule Act.
The economy of the Faroe Islands relies heavily on fishing, exporting fish around the world.
The name Føroyar (Faroe Islands) is derived from the old Norse language which means “Sheep Islands”, a fitting name for the islands given the abundance of sheep.
With the rugged landscape formed from volcanic activity, the Faroe Islands boast unspoiled scenery, idyllic mountains, narrow fjords, and stunning basalt cliffs. Preserved by its remote location, but modernized due to its political and economic success, the Faroe Islands are an excellent travel destination for those who love nature.

Faroe Islands中的安全性
人身安全
法羅群島的犯罪率位居全球最低之列。暴力犯罪極為罕見，目前尚未報告針對遊客的暴力犯罪。扒手和竊盜等輕微犯罪仍然罕見，但在首都和人口最密集的托爾斯港，您仍需保持警惕。最大的安全風險來自自然環境，而非犯罪。天氣瞬息萬變，霧、風和雨都可能在戶外活動中造成危險。懸崖和陡峭的地形對粗心大意者構成風險。曾有遊客在懸崖邊拍照時墜崖身亡。徒步前務必查看天氣預報，告知他人您的計劃，並沿著有標記的路徑行走。偏遠地區可能會延誤救援行動，因此請攜帶合適的裝備，並確保您的保險涵蓋緊急撤離。自然景觀值得尊重和細心照顧，尤其是在偏遠地區探險時。
極端暴力
法羅群島幾乎不存在暴力犯罪。近年來，整體犯罪率顯著下降，已通報的犯罪案件總數從2007年的1100起下降到2020年的532起。在實際發生的犯罪中，暴力犯罪約佔12.8%，且以輕微犯罪為主。從未發生過針對遊客的暴力犯罪報告。當地監獄僅關押12名囚犯，主要用作非暴力罪犯的拘留中心。由於當地沒有犯罪活動，許多當地人不鎖門，也不鎖車。無論背景如何，人身攻擊和仇恨犯罪都很少發生。這些島嶼或許是全球人身安全最安全的目的地。
政治動盪
法羅群島是丹麥王國境內的自治領土，政治穩定。島上人口比例均衡，一部分人主張完全獨立，另一部分人則希望繼續留在丹麥，但這並未引發社會動盪。其政治體制為議會民主制，議會（Logting）由多黨派代表組成。政治辯論主要圍繞獨立問題和傳統的社會經濟問題，但抗議和示威活動很少發生，即使發生也以和平方式進行。法羅群島在歷史上從未發生過政治暴力或內亂。當地最具爭議的問題是傳統的捕鯨活動（grindadrap），該活動曾引發國際社會的批評，偶爾也會引起環保組織的抗議，但這些活動保持和平，不會對遊客的安全構成威脅。法羅群島與丹麥和其他北歐國家的關係穩定。商務旅客和遊客會發現這裡的政治環境平靜且可預測。
應避免的區域
沒有特定區域對遊客構成犯罪危險。從首都托爾斯港到最小的村莊，所有島嶼和定居點的犯罪率都很低。唯一需要注意的是那些有自然災害而非安全威脅的區域。天氣惡化時，偏遠的健行路線會變得危險。海岸線上的懸崖不穩定且濕滑，尤其是在受歡迎的觀景點附近。由於道路狹窄，一些村莊（如 Tjornuvik 和 Muli）不允許露營車通行。狩獵季節從 11 月 2 日持續到 12 月 31 日（星期日除外），在此期間，徒步旅行者應避免未經土地所有者許可走山路。大多數健行路線穿過私人農田，有些區域可能會暫時禁行。島嶼上的主要風險來自不可預測的天氣、複雜的地形以及某些區域的偏僻，這些因素可能會使必要的救援工作變得複雜。
