Myself, I haven't yet been to the Faroe islands. But this collection of beautiful, high quality panoramas might just be the next best thing.

It isn't the easiest site in the world to navigate, but start by clicking on one of the thumbnails, look for the arrow hotspots, and explore. Some of the panoramas show quaint little towns complete grass roofs, others show the capital of Tórshavn, some little alleyways and backyards that make the Faroe Islands seem real, and still others the sweeping and breathtakingly beautiful Faroese landscape.
I spent about 10 minutes looking around, and picked some of my favourite pictures to show.

Føroyar í panorama
Eg sjálv havi ikki verið í Føroyum. Men hendan samlingin av vøkru og hágóðsku myndunum kann væl vera tað næst besta!

Tað er ikki tann lættasta síðani í verðini at reika á, men byrja við at trýsta á tummilsmyndirnar, finn pílarnar, og reika víðari runt í panoramunum. Nøkur av panoramunum vísa hugnaligar lítlar bygdir, hús við grastekjum, aðrar vísa Tórshavn, høvuðsstaðin, og aftur aðrar vísa bergtakandi vakra landsskapið í Føroyum.
Eg brúkti einar 10 minuttir uppá at hyggja runt, og valdi tær bestu burturúr, at vísa her.

See the adorable grass roofs in an 'urban' environment! :D Too sweet!
Hygg at teimum hugnaligu grastekjunum í einum hugnaligum býarumhvørvi! :D Alt ov fitt!
Tinganes, Tórshavn
I felt like this screen captured so much about the small scale of the Faroe Islands - there is just something extraordinary about the simple benches outside of what is probably the most famous building in the Faroe Islands.
Eg kendi tað sum um hendan myndin fangaði so nógv um, hvussu lítlar Føroyar eru - har er bara okkurt serligt um hasar einklu benkurnar uttanfyri tað, sum nokk er kendasti bygningurin í Føroyum.
Sandavagur
This little pink church is so sweet! And the low mountains around are also lovely.
Henda lítla ljósareyða kirkjan er so søt! Og lágu fjøllini rundan um eru eisini deilig.
And this one is my favourite: Near Bøur
If you enable 'hot spots' on the lefthand side, you can actually find the arrows (this time they are on the road) and go to other Faroese panoramas within the embedded player.
Og hetta er mín yndis: Nær við Bø
Um tú velur "hot spots" til vinstru, finnur tú faktiskt pílarnir (hesu ferð eru teir á vegnum), og kanst fara til aðrar føroyskar panorama'ir, í sama spælarinum.
