Vestmanna
Faroe Islands
Boat excursions to the sea cliffs of Vestmannabjørgini are the main draw of this small village on the west coast of Streymoy, the largest of the Faroe Islands. Formerly a ferry port, Vestmanna sits where mountain terrain meets the water, and its name — derived from Old Norse for "Westmen's harbour" — reflects an early Gaelic presence in the islands.
