Get around

By bus

Busses connect Klaksvik with Viðareiði.

By car

The car ride from Torshavn to Viðareiði is the longest journey possible on the islands without using a ferry and involves several tunnels, includingThe Northern Isles Tunnel (Norðoyatunnilin) toll tunnel from Eysturoy to Borðoy and two long ones with right of way in one direction (passing places).

See

• Moorings on both sides of Viðareiði - what a contrast! On one side, where the church is, the Atlantic is placid; on the other it's like - the Atlantic!
• Viðareiði Church - although this is similar to most other churches on the islands, it's worth seeing for its silver, which includes a salver presented by the British Government for help to sailors rescued from a wreck in the mid 19th century

Eat

Unusually for the Faroes' villages, there are actually two places to eat or drink (coffee is very reasonably priced at both, alcohol at neither!)

• Hotel Norð. 
• Matstovan hjá Elisabeth.
