The shape of the island is very distinct, since it resembles a dogs head. Sorvagsfjordur is the mouth and Fjallavatn is the eye.

Vagar is the first port of call for most foreigners travelling to the Faroe Islands, as it is home to the islands' only airport, Vagar Airport. An airfield was built there during World War II by the British, who occupied the Faroe Islands in a friendly manner. After the war it lay unused for about 20 years, but was then put back into service and expanded/modernised as required. It handles about 170,000 passengers a year. Such large numbers by Faroese standards put a considerable strain on transport facilities, with the result that a road tunnel (Vágatunnilin) measuring 5 km in length and running under the sea now connects Vagar with the two largest islands in the Faroes and therefore the capital Torshavn.

The tourist attractions on Vagar are excellent and perhaps the best in the Faroe Islands. The country's two largest lakes - Sorvagsvatn and Fjallavatn - are to be found there, and the tourist association organises excursions throughout the summer.

    P1 är ju egentligen en jävligt underskattad kanal. Mycket program som bjuder in lyssnarna, och mycket kultur som vågar vara "tråkig"!
