Atlas Risk Score · 11th safest of 220
5 of 7 pillars estimated from neighbouring countries — global datasets don't cover Faroe Islands separately.
Where the risk actually is
Risk is rarely spread evenly across a country. The base colour is the code the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs gives Faroe Islands as a whole; shaded regions are those the UK Foreign Office names in an advisory against travel.
What the warnings actually cover
-
Whole country — No specific warning. No government currently advises against travel to any part of this country. The colour reflects general caution levels only, not a warned area.
Shading marks whole regions named in an advisory, but a warning is often narrower — a border strip, one road, or a single city. Read the wording, and check the official advisory linked below.
What drives the score
Each pillar is scored 0–100 against every other country. Longer bar = more risk.
Biggest factor here: natural hazards. Earthquakes, floods, cyclones, drought and tsunami exposure.
Practical facts
The things worth knowing before you land.
When to go
Average daytime high and nightly low for Tórshavn, over 2010-2019. Bars are rainfall; the colour band is how hot the days get.
No month here is both mild and dry. August is the warmest, June the driest.
