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.
