Getting Around
Getting around Shetland Islands is best done with a car, offering the most flexibility to explore its scattered settlements and rugged landscapes. Ferries connect the mainland to islands like Yell, Unst, and Fetlar, and also link some of the larger islands. Local buses operate on the main islands, but services can be infrequent, especially outside Lerwick. Consider booking car hire in advance, particularly during peak season. Factor in ferry timetables when planning your journeys between islands for a smooth experience.
