Getting around

Public transport
The three main routes of red city buses (Dkr10 per ride) each operate half-hourly on weekdays (hourly at weekends and evenings) from the central Steinatún stop. Bus No 2 loops anticlockwise passing close to the Hotel Streym, main post office, Føroya Fornminnissavn and Norðurlandahúsið and returning past the SMS Shopping Centre before finally heading south to Argir via the hospital. Bus No 3 does the same loop clockwise then heads west on Landavegur.
The main taxicompanies are Auto (311234) and Bil (311444).
