== General Tips ==
The '''Faroe Islands''' are a great place to hitch-hike. The flow of traffic changes during the day and the week, the must busy time is saturdays Saturdays around noon and sunday Sunday afternoons. Since many people on the Faroe Islands work as sailors and fishermen thus working one month-shifts, you'll probably come across many single males driving around in mid-day on working days.
For those times when there aren't any cars, the scenery is so amazing that it's nice to walk. If you decide to walk along the road without hitching for a few hours, be prepared for drivers to stop and offer to give you a ride. Note that it's not recommended to walk through the tunnels, it's even illegal to go by foot through the underwater tunnels.
Going to the beutiful beautiful towns of Eiði, Gjógv, Funningur is recommended, please be aware though that Eiði and Gjógv are connected by a smaller mountain road, and that Gjógv especially is a very small village, getting away from there might take a while. If you look for nice views, a hot tip is to first go to Gjógv from the east, then up to Eiði. The view from Mt. Slættaratindur over Streymoys eastern shore is quite amazing.
