Traveling to Port

Transportation to and from the port of Torshavn

A good network of roads criss-crosses the island, with tunnels passing through mountains and connecting some of the islands. Public transport is also reliable, while ferries connect the island to Iceland, Denmark, the Shetland Islands and Norway.
A comparatively large road network of well-maintained sealed roads connects the Faroe Islands. There are no motorways or highways but all main roads and most other roads are dual carriageway.

Public transport is well organised in the Faroe Islands. The Transport Network consists of interconnecting buses and ferries plus a helicopter service. The blue coloured buses connect most towns and villages on Streymoy, Eysturoy, Vidoy, Bordoy, Kunoy, Kalsoy, Sandoy, Suduroy and Vágoy with frequent services.

Taxis can be ordered at any time, and will come to meet incoming ferries.

Vagar Airport, the international airport in the Faroes, is located on the island of Vágoy. A tunnel link is under construction but until this is completed, motorists must follow the regular road route which includes a short ferry crossing.

Buses are linked to scheduled arrival and departure flights and drive onto the ferry. The trip to the capital, Tórshavn, takes 1 hour 40 minutes by bus and ferry and twelve minutes by helicopter.

Ferries provide connections to Seydisfjördur in Iceland, Bergen in Norway and Esbjerg in Denmark. Eimskip has weekly sailings from Reykjavik to the Faroe Islands while P&O Scottish Ferries connect Torshavn with Lerwick in the Shetland Islands.

You will find a car park located at the port facility, with both short and long-term parking available.
