There are also many tunnels connecting towns and islands. Except for the newest ones, they are generally one lane and without lights. They are very scary and dangerous to walk through − avoid at all costs!!

'''Vágoy''' is incredibly easy to hitch to and within; there's a lot of traffic. But if it's a nice day have someone let you off before the Streymoy-Vágoy tunnel and walk 5 minutes to the Leynar beach − it's spectacular!
Vágoy is where the Faroes' only airport is.

'''Suðuroy''' (litterally "South Island") is fairly big and different from the other islands (they even speak a different dialect). The traffic is poor, as the transportation of cars to and from the island limited. But people are friendly and like on other islands, chances to be picked up are high in spite of the few cars. The road network is not so good, so you can't really drive around the island.
