About the Faroe Islands bus appThe short answers
The journeys visitors actually search for
Each of these starts with the short answer, then the detail. Where a connection is conditional — a weekday, a booking, a season — that condition is in the first line rather than buried below.
- Bus 300 Bus 300
Vágar Airport → Tórshavn
The connection nearly every visitor makes first
Route 300 runs from the airport terminal building to the Tórshavn bus and ferry terminal, continuing west to Sørvágur in the other direction.
- Tourist Travel Cards are sold on board, as well as at the airport information centre.
- Departures are spread through the day rather than frequent — check the day columns against your flight.

- Bus 350 Conditional
Tórshavn → Gásadalur
The waterfall village, and the awkward truth about reaching it
Weekday route 350 runs direct from Tórshavn to Bøur, with no change of bus. On the timetable valid from 31 August 2026, Bøur is the last published stop and Gásadalur does not appear at all.
- Route 350 is published as weekdays only, with a small number of trips each way; some run on schooldays only.
- Re-check the current route 350 timetable close to your travel date — the published position here changes with the season.
Checked – 2026 Sources: Strandfaraskip Landsins
- Bus 400 / Bus 401 Bus 400
Tórshavn → Klaksvík
The northern trunk route, and the interchange everything hangs off
Route 400 runs all week between Tórshavn and Klaksvík across Eysturoy; the weekday express 401 covers the same corridor with fewer stops.
- Oyrarbakki on route 400 is the interchange for Eiði, Gjógv and Tjørnuvík.
- The express 401 skips Oyrarbakki, so it is the wrong bus if you are connecting onwards.
Checked Sources: Strandfaraskip Landsins
- Bus 300 + Ferry 36 Seasonal
Tórshavn → Mykines
Puffins, a 45-minute crossing, and a weather risk worth taking seriously
Bus 300 to Sørvágur, then ferry route 36 in season. The Tourist Travel Card does not cover this crossing.
- Sailings run in published season windows only; outside them there is no service at all.
- Cancellations happen in both directions, so never plan Mykines for the day before a flight home.

Current service notices
Three routes need more than turning up
Route 201 to Gjógv is by request only and must be telephoned for at least two hours before departure. Routes 202 to Tjørnuvík, 350 to Bøur and 401 to Klaksvík are published as weekdays only, and some 350 trips run on schooldays only.

Conditions
What kind of day is it
In the Faroes the weather, not the timetable, is usually what decides whether a crossing or a mountain path happens. These are the current readings at the two places most journeys pass through.

What the weather decides here
- The Mykines crossing An exposed Atlantic crossing on a small vessel. Our ferry page says plainly that a same-day return is conditional on the weather rather than a fixed plan.
- The Tjørnuvík to Saksun path No scheduled bus reaches Saksun, so the mountain path is the usual car-free way in. It is a proper hillwalk in exposed terrain.
- The old postal path to Gásadalur The alternative to the road tunnel, which has no footway. The path needs the weather, the daylight and the footwear to match.
- The Kalsoy crossing and the island bus A short crossing to Syðradalur, then route 506. The ferry and the island bus do not pair up on every departure.
These are measured weather readings, not a service status. We do not publish departure times, and we will not tell you a sailing is cancelled from a wind speed — check the operator's own page, linked from each route and ferry page above.
Island by island
The islands, in the order you will meet them
Land on Vágar, base yourself in Tórshavn, head north, then out by sea. Each stretch says which places a scheduled bus or ferry reaches, which come with conditions, and which have no bus stop at all. Starting from somewhere specific? The journey finder answers it pair by pair.
Where you land
Vágar and Mykines
Every visitor arrives here. Bus 300 leaves the airport terminal for Tórshavn one way and Sørvágur the other. On weekdays route 350 continues to Bøur, the nearest published stop to Gásadalur. From Sørvágur, the seasonal Mykines ferry crosses to the puffin island.
- Sørvágur Scheduled service
Sørvágur is the published terminus of route 300 and a calling point on weekday route 350.
- Gásadalur No bus stop here
No scheduled bus stop is published in Gásadalur itself on the current timetables; Bøur, on weekday route 350, is the nearest published stop.
- Mykines Conditions apply
Mykines is reached by ferry from Sørvágur, which is the end of bus route 300.
In this chapter Bus 300Bus 350 36 Sørvágur – Mykines
Where every bus begins
Tórshavn and the capital's harbour
The bus and ferry terminal at Eystara Bryggja is where the regional routes start, and the town's own buses are free. Nólsoy is a short crossing from the harbour in the middle of town, and Vestmanna is a single bus away on route 100.
- Tórshavn Scheduled service
Tórshavn's terminal (Farstøðin) is the start of the regional network; the town's own buses are free and meet at Steinatún.
- Nólsoy Scheduled service
Nólsoy needs no bus at all: the ferry berth is in central Tórshavn.
- Vestmanna Scheduled service
Route 100 runs from Tórshavn to Vestmanna.
In this chapter Bus 100 90 Tórshavn – Nólsoy
Where the conditions start
Northern Streymoy and Eysturoy
Bus 400 carries you north to Oyrarbakki, the Eysturoy interchange. From there the smaller routes are the ones with conditions: 202 to Tjørnuvík runs on weekdays only, on a schoolday calendar, and 201 to Gjógv runs only when booked by telephone. Saksun has no bus at all; the mountain path from Tjørnuvík is the usual car-free way in.
- Tjørnuvík Conditions apply
Route 202 serves Tjørnuvík from Oyrarbakki, Monday to Friday only.
- Gjógv Conditions apply
Route 201 reaches Gjógv from Oyrarbakki, and every departure is by request.
- Saksun No bus stop here
No scheduled SSL bus route serves Saksun.

The second hub
Klaksvík and the northern isles
Bus 400 runs all week between Tórshavn and Klaksvík, with the faster weekday express 401 beside it. Klaksvík is the northern interchange: route 500 goes on to Viðareiði, and the Kalsoy ferry meets route 506 on the island, though not on every departure.
- Klaksvík Scheduled service
Klaksvík is the terminus of routes 400 and 401 and the interchange for the northern branches.

The long way south
Suðuroy, by sea
The one trip here that begins with a proper voyage: two hours south on the ferry from Tórshavn, then route 700 along the length of the island.
- Suðuroy Scheduled service
Ferry route 7 from Tórshavn, then bus route 700 along the island.

The network
How the Faroese bus and ferry network is shaped
Almost everything radiates from the bus and ferry terminal in Tórshavn, and almost every interesting journey involves exactly one change. These are the corridors that matter to a visitor.

Plan your journey
Four steps that prevent almost every Faroese transport problem
The network is small, well run and easy to use — as long as you check the right things in the right order. This is that order.
-
Find the route number first
Faroese transport is organised by route number, not by destination. Once you know you want route 300 or route 400, our page for that route tells you what it reaches and what to watch for.
Checked Sources: Strandfaraskip Landsins
-
Check the day, not just the time
Routes 202, 350 and 401 are published as weekdays only, and several branches run on a schoolday calendar with holiday dates carrying no service at all.
Checked – 2026 Sources: Strandfaraskip Landsins
-
Read the return column before you travel out
Branch routes end in villages with nothing else running. The last departure back is the fact that decides whether a day trip is possible, and it is often earlier than a long northern evening suggests.
Checked – 2026 Sources: Strandfaraskip Landsins
-
Telephone for the request services
Route 201 to Gjógv only runs if you have booked it, on +298 233320 between 07:00 and 20:00, at least two hours before departure. Book both directions in the same call.

Questions before you board
Short, sourced answers. Open one at a time.
Is there a bus from Vágar Airport to Tórshavn?
Yes. Route 300 runs between the airport terminal building and the Tórshavn bus and ferry terminal, and it is not published as a weekday-only service. Tourist Travel Cards are sold on board.
Checked Sources: Strandfaraskip Landsins
Can I reach Gásadalur by bus?
Not all the way. Weekday route 350 runs direct from Tórshavn to Bøur (route 300 ends at Sørvágur), but on the timetable valid from 31 August 2026 Bøur is its final stop and Gásadalur does not appear on it. Re-check route 350 close to your travel date, because the published position changes with the season.
Checked – 2026 Sources: Strandfaraskip Landsins
Is there a bus to Saksun?
No. No scheduled route in the SSL network publishes a stop in Saksun. The car-free option is the mountain path from Tjørnuvík, which is a serious hillwalk with no transport at the Saksun end.
Checked Sources: Strandfaraskip Landsins
Are the buses in Tórshavn really free?
The town buses are. Tórshavnar kommuna has run them free of charge for residents and visitors since 2019. The regional Bygdaleiðir routes operated for SSL are ticketed separately.
Checked Sources: Tórshavnar kommuna
How much is the Faroe Islands travel card?
SSL's Tourist Travel Card is 500 DKK for four days and 700 DKK for seven days for adults, and 250 DKK and 350 DKK respectively for children. It does not cover the Mykines ferry, vehicles or pre-booked seat reservations.
Checked Sources: Strandfaraskip Landsins
Do I need to book the bus to Gjógv?
Yes. Route 201 is a request service: SSL states that all departures must be booked on +298 233320 between 07:00 and 20:00, with notice given at least two hours before departure. Book the return in the same call.
Checked Sources: Strandfaraskip Landsins
Can I visit the Faroe Islands without a car?
Yes, with a shorter list than the guidebooks suggest. Tórshavn, Klaksvík, Vestmanna, Sørvágur, Nólsoy, Sandoy and Suðuroy work on scheduled services. Gjógv needs a telephone booking, Tjørnuvík and the west of Vágar are weekdays only, and Saksun has no bus at all.
