Sørvágur is a municipality of about 1,200 inhabitants in the western part of the Faroese island of Vog, in the North Atlantic between Norway and Iceland. As the home of the Faroe Islands' only international airport, Vogt Airport, it is an important air gateway to the islands. The town retains its traditional Faroese red-roofed wooden houses and cobblestone streets, and has a strong fishing culture, with local fishermen still catching cod and haddock in the traditional way. The surrounding nature is unique, with the spectacular cliffs of Sørvágsfjøra (a drop of about 35 meters) and the quiet Lake Middadalen (Leitisvatn) in the vicinity, creating the visual spectacle of a "lake above the sea". In the summer, during the "Ólavsøka" St. Olav's Festival, traditional boat races and folk music are held, showcasing the Nordic culture in its original form. Combining the qualities of a transportation hub and a nature destination, Søvåg is a must-visit destination for exploring the Faroe Islands.
