Getting around
Arriving
Olbia. The north east's gateway three ways: Olbia airport (OLB), the ferry port from the mainland, and a Trenitalia branch line; all three sit within a few km of the centre with ARST and urban bus links.
Tickets · ARST + urban buses
Operator apps and tabaccherie.
Validate when boarding.
Olbia is a transfer city more than a destination: sort your Costa Smeralda or inland connection here, enjoy an evening on Corso Umberto, move on.
On foot
- ·Corso Umberto and the little archaeological museum by the old port fill a pleasant evening between connections
Taxis and driving
- ·Hire cars queue out of the airport in summer; book ahead, the Gallura coves reward having one
