Destination-specific money tips
- •Rental cars are essential for exploring beyond Tórshavn and are a significant expense; book well in advance.
- •Groceries from supermarkets like Bónus or FK are considerably cheaper than eating out for every meal.
- •While cards are common, carry some cash (DKK) for smaller villages or remote ferry terminals.
- •Be aware that prices for imported goods can be high due to the islands' isolation.
- •Alcohol is expensive; consider purchasing from duty-free if arriving by plane or ferry.
