The part people forget

Getting back from Sørvágur

Route 300 is the reliable way back east and is not published as weekday-only, which makes Sørvágur a safer weekend base than anywhere further west. Still read the return column: departures are spread through the day rather than frequent.

Where Sørvágur is

An approximate centre for the settlement. It is not a bus stop, a boarding point or a trailhead — check the operator's own stop names against the route page before you rely on it.

Once you are there

Sørvágur in brief

Sørvágur is where route 300 finishes and where the Mykines ferry leaves from. For a visitor without a car it is one of the most useful places in the islands to understand.

The Mykines ferry berth

Seasonal sailings to Mykines leave from here. The crossing is 45 minutes and is not covered by the Tourist Travel Card.

Tindhólmur views

The sea stack off Bøur is visible from the road west out of the village.

A workable base without a car

Being at the end of an all-week bus route and next to a ferry berth makes Sørvágur unusually practical for a car-free trip.

Good to know

  • If you are heading for Mykines, check the ferry season windows before booking accommodation here.
