Getting Around

How to get to and from Vágar Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.

Transport Options at FAE

Vágar Airport is connected to Vágar and the wider Faroe Islands transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Bus & Shuttle

Bus 300 runs to Torshavn's bus terminal (about 55 minutes); check the timetable first since buses don't necessarily run after every flight arrival. Multi-day Travel Cards covering buses and most ferries are available.

Taxi

A fixed one-way fare of about $35 USD (33 EUR) applies if booked in advance; drivers wait in arrivals.

Car Rental

Most major rental companies operate from the airport; tunnel toll passes can often be bundled into the rental at a fixed daily rate.

Insider tip

The roughly 40-minute drive to Torshavn passes through several tunnels, including a 5km subsea tunnel; watch for sheep on the roads, and book taxis or transfers in advance.

Transport routes, fares and operators change frequently. Verify current options on the official Vágar Airport website before travel.
