Although the UArctic Congress 2026 is still months away, we are very happy to hear that people are already starting to plan their travels to the Faroe Islands! More information will be published later on these pages, but to quickly address a couple potential concerns you might have:

Accommodation

The local organisers have made block reservations at hotels in and around Tórshavn for the UArctic Congress 2026. Some of these reserved rooms are already being released, and hotel bookings are now open to the general public. We therefore strongly encourage participants to book accommodation as early as possible, as hotel capacity in Tórshavn is limited and demand is expected to be high during the congress period.

‍

You are welcome to contact the hotels directly to make your reservations. Several hotels offer a discounted rate (10–20% off the standard rate) for UArctic Congress participants using the booking code UARCTIC2026, but the booking conditions vary between hotels. At some hotels, you will need to manually enter the code when reserving, while at others the discount will be applied automatically when using a dedicated booking link.

How to travel

‍You can fly non-stop to the Faroe Islands from various destinations, including Copenhagen, Paris, Reykjavik, London, Edinburgh, Oslo, and Bergen. For North American travellers, convenient connections are available through Iceland. If there are no direct flights from your chosen departure airport, airlines can offer connections via several gateway airports – full details are available on the airline’s website, Atlantic Airways, Icelandair, Scandinavian Airlines, and Widerøe AS. Depending on the route, it generally takes around 2hr30min to fly directly to the Faroe Islands – though some routes, such as Edinburgh and Reykjavík, take little over an hour.

If flights to the Faroe Islands around the arrival days are getting full, the local airline will add more flights.
