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.

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.
