Transport from the Airport to Tórshavn

Upon arrival at Vágar Airport, transportation to Tórshavn can be challenging. There are scheduled buses from the airport, but they are not necessarily coordinated with flight arrivals. However, this is probably the most affordable transport option, costing approximately 110 DKK per person. If you arrive during the day, you may find that the bus has just left, with the next departure up to two hours later. If you arrive at night, there may be no bus service at all. You can find the current bus schedule here:

An alternative option is to book a shuttle service through a taxi company (Bil or Auto) the day before arrival. The price is approximately 280 DKK per person, but you will be driven directly to your destination. However, you will likely share the vehicle with other passengers.

For shuttle passengers: The driver waits 50 meters outside the airport in a covered passage.

If you prefer a private taxi, that is also an option.
