Getting around
Arriving
Alghero. Alghero's airport (AHO) is the practical arrival, 10 km out with ARST bus links; the little ARST railway connects to Sassari for the mainline network.
Tickets · ARST
ARST app, tabaccherie and airport desks.
Validate when boarding.
The Catalan walled centre is walked; buses matter for the airport, the Capo Caccia cliffs and the beach strip north of town.
On foot
- ·The sea walls circuit at sunset, the Catalan lanes and the harbour make the essential Alghero loop
- ·Capo Caccia and the Neptune's Grotto stairway (654 steps down the cliff) are a bus or boat trip, not a walk from town
Taxis and driving
- ·The practical Sardinia tool: Bosa's coast road south is one of Italy's great drives
