The part people forget
Getting back from Klaksvík
Klaksvík is far enough north that the last bus matters. If you have gone on to Viðareiði on route 500 or across to Kalsoy on the ferry, you are depending on two connections rather than one, so check the last departure of each before you set out.

Once you are there
Klaksvík in brief
Klaksvík is the second town of the Faroe Islands and the hinge of the northern network. Routes 400 and 401 arrive from Tórshavn; route 500 and the Kalsoy ferry leave from here.
Christianskirkjan
The 1963 church above the harbour, with a boat hanging from the ceiling.
The Kalsoy ferry
Twenty minutes across to Syðradalur, with island bus route 506 continuing to Trøllanes for the Kallur lighthouse walk.
Viðareiði
Route 500 runs north to the northernmost village in the country, under Villingadalsfjall.
Good to know
- SSL notes that the Saturday 09:20 departure from Syðradalur has no connecting island bus, so ferry and bus do not always pair up on Kalsoy.
