Guides
Read before you book anything
- How to get around the Faroe Islands by public transport One operator, Strandfaraskip Landsins (SSL), runs the scheduled ferries and contracts the regional bus network. Tórshavn is the hub: routes 300 and 350 go west to the airport and Vágar, route 400 goes north to Klaksvík, route 100 goes to Vestmanna, and route 650 goes south to Sandoy through the subsea tunnel. Ferries fill in the islands the roads do not reach. Tórshavn's own town buses are free.
- Visiting the Faroe Islands without a car Yes, you can visit the Faroe Islands without a car — but the realistic list is shorter than the guidebooks suggest. Tórshavn, Klaksvík, Vestmanna, Sørvágur, Nólsoy, Sandoy and Suðuroy are straightforward on scheduled services. Gjógv needs a telephone booking. Tjørnuvík and the west of Vágar are weekdays only. Saksun has no bus at all.
- Faroe Islands bus and ferry tickets: what things cost SSL sells a Tourist Travel Card at 500 DKK for four days and 700 DKK for seven days for adults, half that for children. It covers buses and ferries without a seat reservation, but it does not cover the Mykines ferry, vehicles, or pre-booked seat reservations. Tórshavn's town buses are free to everyone. Single bus fares are zone-based and published by SSL itself.
- Faroe Islands: buses or a rental car? Take the bus if you are based in Tórshavn, travelling between towns, or visiting Nólsoy, Vestmanna, Klaksvík or Sandoy. Rent a car if Saksun, Gásadalur at a weekend, or several villages in one day are on your list. The network is good at connecting towns and poor at connecting villages, and no amount of planning changes that.
