Faroe Islands - moving around the country
Transportation on the territory of the Faroe Islands and between the individual islands of the archipelago is well developed. The most popular type of public transport is buses. It should be noted that four absolutely free trips ply the territory of major cities, and depart from the stations every half hour. If you are planning a trip to another island, buses get on ferries and as a result of this the cost of the ticket increases significantly. The entire vehicle fleet is in a fairly good, technically sound condition. Consequently passengers should expect a comfortable and fast trip. Besides this, you can ride between the islands on a bus through underwater tunnels and bridges. Such a service will also attract an additional fee. If you intend to travel to several islands of the archipelago, it is best to purchase a tourist card “Travel”. It allows you to save considerably. Thanks to it, you can travel both by bus and ferry, except for the voyages to the island of Mykines.
