Most of the islands are connected by an impressive network of roads, bridges, and undersea tunnels, making the Faroes far easier to navigate than their remote location might suggest. Four subsea tunnels link the main islands — the Vágatunnilin connects Vágar with Streymoy, and the newer Eysturoyartunnilin is the world's first undersea roundabout, connecting Eysturoy directly to Streymoy without a ferry. All tunnels charge a toll.
By car is the most flexible way to get around. Car hire is available at Vágar Airport and in Tórshavn. Roads are well maintained, though some mountain roads can be narrow and steep.
By bus, the national network (Bygdaleiðir, or Village Routes) is operated by Strandfaraskip Landsins — the same company that runs the ferries. Blue buses connect the airport, Tórshavn, and larger towns; smaller routes reach the villages. A multi-day travel pass covers both buses and ferries, excluding the Mykines ferry. Timetables are published at ssl.fo.
By ferry, domestic ferries link islands not connected by tunnel or causeway. The Mykines ferry is particularly popular in summer and should be booked in advance. Ferries to the remote northern islands — Fugloy and Svinoy — run from Havassund on Vidoy, often in lively Atlantic conditions.
Car ferries run to Kalsoy, Sandoy, and Suðuroy. These services are reliable but infrequent, so it pays to check the timetable.
