Alghero: a practical guide to choosing your area

Alghero is one of the more manageable bases in north-west Sardinia without a car: the historic centre, seafront and Lido di San Giovanni form a walkable corridor, while urban routes connect Pietraia, Maria Pia, Fertilia and the airport. A car still adds freedom for more remote coves and the wider territory.

A late arrival without the worry

Our flight landed late in Olbia and I could not tell which base would be practical. The arrival and mobility guidance turned scattered questions into a clear picture. We booked more calmly and did not lose our first day.
