Transportation from Tórshavn City Center to Vágar Airport
The most economical option to go from Tórshavn to Vágar Airport is to use the airport bus number 300. This bus route starts from the city center of Tórshavn, stops at the airport occasionally and finishes the journey in Sørvágur, 2 km from the airport.
Buses depart from each other every day of the week. You can buy your ticket on the bus or at the ticket offices at Tórshavn central station. Check the official website to see all departure times and stop names. If you are going to the airport on one of the public holidays, you should look at the Sunday schedule to find out the departure times of that day.
Because Faroe Island is a relatively small place, you may not always see a taxi on the streets. Therefore, either your hotel will call the taxi for you to the airport or you yourself. The best option to avoid the possible language barrier is to leave this job to your hotel. Normal taxis only accept 3 passengers and the journey takes an average of 45 minutes. Although the Faroe Islands have their own currency, you can also pay the taxi fare in Danish Krone.
There are two major taxi companies on the island. One of them is Auto and the other is Airport Taxi. Payment by credit card is not accepted in taxis. Taxi fare can only be paid to the driver in cash in local currency and Danish krone.
If you are more than 3 people or want to have a more comfortable journey, you can call a larger taxi from the websites above, or you can arrange a private airport transfer from professional websites.
Private transfer is known to be a much more economical option than taxi for groups of more than two people. Thus, on your way to the airport, all you have to do is watch the magnificent Faroe landscapes.
Transportation from Bodo Airport to City Center
Bodo is the capital and largest city of the Norwegian state of Nordland. It is also the second largest city in all of Norway and an important commercial center of Northern Norway. It is a good idea to dress tight as the city is famous for its winds.
Although little known to travelers, Bodo is a great starting point to start exploring the Lofoten Islands or Northern Norway because it has its own airport.
Bodo Airport is a 15-20 minute walk from the city center, but there are also bus and taxi options. The easiest way to get to the city center from Bodo Airport is to take the bus that leaves from the airport entrance. Buses 1 and 4, which depart every 10 minutes, go directly to the city center with a journey that takes only 5 minutes.
There are fewer flights on weekends, but you never have to wait long, and if the weather is very cold, it is possible to wait in the airport until the bus leaves. You can use the Billett Nordland phone application to buy bus tickets or pay with your credit card while boarding, but note that cash payments are not accepted.
In fact, walking from the airport to Bodo city center is also a pleasant experience. If you don't have a lot of luggage, the 2 km road only takes 15-20 minutes and most of the road has sidewalks. In other words, by taking a very safe walk, you both save money and see Bodo's football stadium on the way.
Apart from walking and bus options, it is possible to reach the city center in 5 minutes from Bodo Airport by taxi. Taxis waiting just outside the main entrance of the airport take passengers wherever they want, but keep in mind that taxis are very expensive in Norway. If you want to book a taxi ahead, you can call Nordland Taxi on +47 07550.
If you have a lot of luggage, it can be a good choice as you will not have to walk to your hotel in the city center. Likewise, there are offices that rent cars at Bodo Airport.
