The 18 islands that comprise the Faroes are mostly linked by causeways, bridges and tunnels to the capital city of Torshavn on Streymoy. Motorists here will witness vistas that appear to have been untouched by time when rounding corners on the islands’ meandering roads.

Driving Tips for the Faroe Islands

The Faroe Islands boast a comprehensive system of paved roads that are easily negotiated. Inter-island tunnels connect six of the main islands and car ferries run to several of the others. The majority of the road signs comply with international standards. Drivers are required to leave their headlights on in the daytime.

Speed limits:
Rural routes: 50mph (80kph)
Towns and villages: 31mph (50kph)

Alcohol limits: 0.05 per cent, less than in the UK where it is 0.08 per cent. Violators face heavy fines and even a prison sentence.

Transport

Taxis
Taxis are available in the Faroe Islands, with many taxi companies based in the capital of Torshavn. Taxis are one of the ground transport options for passengers arriving at Vagar Airport. Many taxi drivers here are trained guides and can therefore be hired along with their vehicles for sightseeing tours of the islands.

Buses
Torshavn city buses are red. The five routes on the city network are free of charge for passengers. Blue buses serve the main rural and inter-island routes. The busiest of the services is from Torshavn to Klaksvik on the island of Bordoy. Several private operators run these buses, but the fares they charge are determined by the islands’ governing body. Inter-island bus timetables are available on Strandfaraskip, the national transport company.

Ferries
There is a once a week ferry which stops at the Faroe Islands while sailing between Hirtshals in Denmark and the Icelandic port of Seydisfjordur. Fares are around £44 and £65 depending on the season. Ferries are an important mode of transportation in the Faroes and the only means of reaching the southern sector of the archipelago. There are eight ports on the islands, which are linked by a comprehensive ferry network. The large ferries are roll-on, roll-off and convenient for those with their own vehicles.

Airports
Served by a single airport, Vaga Floghavn Airport on the island of Vagar, the Faroe Islands can be reached directly from London. A tunnel connects Vagar Island with Streymoy Island, which hosts the capital, Torshavn. Buses to the capital cost around £12.

Exploring the Faroe Islands

For most visitors, their first experience of the Faroe Islands is Torshavn. Architectural gems, the 18th century Torshavn Cathedral and the Nordic House are among the city’s attractions. Additionally, Torshavn boasts a good selection of shops and dining outlets.

Torshavn is a good base for exploring Streymoy Island where Kvivik village’s Viking remains and Leynar are set amid stunning landscapes. The lake near Leynar is stocked with trout and salmon.

A little farther north, Hvalvik is home to one of the island’s oldest timber churches, while Vestmanna is the boarding point for cruises around the landmark bird cliffs.

The town of Klaksvik is dominated by the so-called Pyramid Mountain. In town, Christianskirkjan Church and the old school house are great draws. Bordoy has regions for bird watching and in the old port at Nordoyri there are historic boat sheds.

On southern Sudoroy Island, the towns of Vagur and Tvoroyri are popular destinations, and are convenient bases for visiting the Hvalba mines and the village of Sandvik. This village is so far off the beaten track that there is rarely another soul on the beach here.

Weather

Despite the northerly position of the Faroe Islands, they have a fairly mild climate. Average temperatures range from 2°C in the depths of winter to around 13°C in summer. Wind and rain are fixtures of the Faroes’ weather cycles and there are on average 250 wet days a year. Snow is a rarity and never stays long. There is occasional frost in December and January.
