Getting there
Arriving from each starting point
The short answer
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.
From Tórshavn: Weekday route 350 runs direct from the Tórshavn terminal through Vágar Airport and Sørvágur to Bøur: one bus, no change. It does not run at weekends, and Gásadalur is not on its timetable.

From each starting point
-
From Tórshavn
Weekday route 350 runs direct from the Tórshavn terminal through Vágar Airport and Sørvágur to Bøur: one bus, no change. It does not run at weekends, and Gásadalur is not on its timetable.
-
From Vágar Airport
Route 350 calls at the airport on weekdays and continues to Bøur, so on a weekday it is a single bus. At weekends there is no published service beyond Sørvágur.
-
At a weekend
No scheduled serviceThere is no published scheduled bus beyond Sørvágur at weekends. A taxi, a rental car or a guided tour is the honest answer, not a bus connection.
The part people forget
Getting back from Gásadalur
This is the return that catches people out. Route 350 publishes only a couple of trips in each direction on weekdays, so the last bus back east is early by the standards of a long summer evening. Read the return column before you travel out, and if the numbers do not work, arrange a taxi from Sørvágur in advance rather than discovering the problem at Bøur.
On foot
Walking and hiking connections
Bøur to Gásadalur is a road link through the Gásadalstunnilin road tunnel. The tunnel has no separate footway, so walking it is not something to plan casually. The alternative is the old postal path over the mountain, which is a proper hillwalk in exposed terrain and needs the weather, the daylight and the footwear to match.

By bus
What the operator publishes
- Route 300 from Tórshavn and Vágar Airport ends at Sørvágur. Its published stop list does not include Bøur or Gásadalur.
- Route 350 continues past Sørvágur to Bøur, but only on weekdays, and only on a small number of trips each day, some of them on schooldays only.
- On the route 350 timetable valid from 31 August 2026, Bøur is the final stop and Gásadalur does not appear at all. Earlier summer timetables were reported to run further; that is not what is published now.
- Because the published position changes with the season, re-check the route 350 timetable close to your travel date rather than trusting any guide, including this one.

No signal in the valley? The timetable is already on your phone
Faroe Bus for Android plans SSL bus and ferry trips by place and keeps the timetables on your phone when the signal drops — in the valleys and on the trails, where the tourist board warns coverage can be limited, the bus home is still one tap away.
Once you are there
Gásadalur in brief
Gásadalur sits above the Múlafossur waterfall at the western end of Vágar. It is the single most photographed place in the islands and, on the currently published timetables, the one where the bus answer is genuinely awkward.
Múlafossur at Gásadalur — the most photographed place in the islands, and one the current bus timetable does not reach. Route 350 ends at Bøur; the rest is a walk or a taxi.

Múlafossur
The waterfall dropping straight off the cliff into the Atlantic, with the village behind it. The viewpoint is a short walk from the village.
-
Bøur
The nearest published bus stop is a village worth the stop in its own right, looking out at the Tindhólmur sea stack.
-
The old postal path
The route the postman walked over the mountain from Bøur before the tunnel was built in 2004. A serious walk, not a stroll.
Good to know
Good to know
-
Gásadalur is tiny and residential. There is no bus station, no ticket office and very little shelter.
-
If your plan depends on a specific bus, telephone SSL to confirm before travelling — published timetables here change with the season.
