Transportation
All the settlements are connected by surfaced roads. The main entry road to Tórshavn passes through a 2.8 kilometres (1.7 mi) long tunnel. The connection to the island Eysturoy is via a bridge over the Sundini sound. Since 2002, a 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) long undersea tunnel connects Streymoy to Vágar thereby completing the road connections of the three "mainland" islands.
Streymoy is connected by regular ferry service to the island of Sandoy from the ferry port on Gamla Rætt near Kirkjubøur, and to the islands Suðuroy and Nólsoy from the ferry port in Tórshavn. In summertime, scheduled ferry connects Tórshavn with Hanstholm in Denmark and Seyðisfjörður in Iceland; the remainder of the year the ferry connects with Esbjerg in Denmark. The closest airport is on Vágar island, it is the only airport in the Faroe Islands.
