    • By bus

      Stagecoach in Orkney is the main operator of buses in and around Kirkwall. All bus routes focus on the Travel Centre, which is located on West Castle Street, just off Broad Street. This is where the tourist information centre is also located. Buses operate to most areas of the mainland, with buses goin to the main historic sites in the Summer months. Buses also operate to the linked South Isles and to ferry terminals which are not located in Kirkwall. A daily bus service has also recently started, which allows travel from Kirkwall to Inverness on the same bus, as the bus comes on the ferry too. Timetables and routes or all public transport services are available at [http://www.orkneypublictransport.co.uk/]

    • By car

      Kirkwall has numerous car parks located in the town centre and harbour area. Parking around the harbour is free and mainly unlimited time, so it is the best place to park if you are exploring the town for a whole day. However, there can be a lack of parking in the town, even in the pay car parks.
