Alghero Travel Forum

Hi. I´m going to Alghero in july and wonder where the best place to rent a speed or mountain bike is. I also wonder if somebody has any good tips on nice routes for biking and hiking around Alghero.

Regards Claes

Hello,

Could anyone tell me the frequency of buses from Alghero Airport to Bosa Marina and return Bosa Marina to Alghero Airport. I have also booked a day off the Island flying from Alghero to Pisa with the flight leaving at 8am and returning at 9pm - is there bus connections so early in the morning and late in the evening too?

If buses are not available - does anyone know how much a taxi would cost?

Thank You

Hi,I noted the information provided about sea fishing in response to a previous question, however I was wondering if anyone could please advise where we would be able to rent a small boat and fishing equiptment? Also are there any dangerous currents or anything of the like to be aware of around Porto Conte if we were to swim off the boat?

I am going to be visiting Alghero soon and was wondering where do you go to board the tourist train that goes around the village?

hello all,

could anybody please let me know what is the weather like right now?
we are coming to Alghero on Saturday (17th May) morning and praying for warm sunshine.
i have been looking at the weather forecast past few days and it looks a bit mad - showers, clouds...
also, what are the temperatures?
thanks so much, just so we know what to be prepared for...

Hi folks,

I'm staying in Alghero in September for two weeks, and I wondered where else can you get to by ferry or boat from Alghero for day trips? I've heard that it's possible to get a ferry to Corsica - is this correct?

Are there any other places accessible by ferry or boat for a day trip or overnight trip?

Many thanks.

Hi, can anyone tell me what the weather is like in Alghero at the moment? My parents are flying out on Sunday and don't know whether to pack summer or winter clothes. Any advice on places of interest to visit would be appreciated as it looks like it is not the main tourist season their at this time of year so will many places be open? How easy is it to visit Corsica? Most advice seems to be to hire a car, will it be very difficult to get around and see places without one? Sorry lots of questions, last one though, does anyone know what the transport is like from the airport to Alghero?

Hello!

Can anyone please advice me where to park my car in Alghero?
What are the costs for that?

I'd like to know how is the transportation between Alghero and Porto Conte.Are there local buses running often?Is it easy to rent bikes in the area?Are there good beaches around Porto Conte reachable without depending on your own transport?
We are thinking of staying in Porto conte so we'd like to know a little bit more as we haven't found much info on the internet.
thank you!!

I arrive Alghero airport Sunday 8 July at 20.40 and need transportation to San Teodoro outside Olbia either by bus, train or rental car. Can anyone give me a response what is my options (cheapest possible). I understand that buses are not going so frequently and maybee not so late...

We arrive in Alghero on Saturday and would really like to hire an old Italian Fiat 500, not a standard hire car. Does anyone out there know if this is possible?

Hi we (me and the wife) will be travelling to Alghero between 11th and 19th of September. Basically I took the cheapest flight option available, which gets to the airport at 8:40 pm on a tuesday. Now I understand that the airport is quite far away from the town but I got the impression from some sources that there is a bus service at the airport waiting for every flight arrival?? Is that actually true?? If not does the local pick up bus (no 9 was it?) run in the evenings? Or if anyone has any other transport recommendations - I 'd hate to get in a taxi where I know little local language (basic Italian but know nothing about Catalan), and being charged 30-40 euros for a (say) 10-euro journey.

On a related note: if we don't hire a car, what day trips/overnight trips are recommended to do in Sardinia? We have a week so I m thinking one day in Fertilia and probably an overnight (i.e.2 days)somewhere south Sardinia. Any recommendations would be very helpful!!

Grazie!

Hello friends,
There is a train that I'd need to take in order to get from Olbia to Alghero (I'm flying to and from Olbia in August, landing in the afteroon). I need to ride a train because the buses between the two cities seems quite rare. Anyway, the last train between the cities leaves Olbia at 16.49 and has 2 connections before reaching Alghero by 20.24. There are 2 connections in between, the first one goes through Ozieri - Chilivani and there seems to be a train change (when the number of a train changes, that necessarily means a physical train change, does it?) The thing is, the connection has 7 minutes margin before moving on from Ozieri to Sassari. I wanted to ask whether you think that may mean missing the connection in case the first train is a bit late. I thought it's worth asking, because maybe these connections wait for people in the previous train to arrive before the second train starts moving. What do you think?
Thanks a lot to all Sardinian friends!

whats the weather likely to be doing end of february and what can you recommend us doing (sightseeing, eating out etc)

Hi

Is it easy to hire a bike for a day(s)?
Are there good public transport links around the island? Is it possible to get around without having to hire a car?

I'm looking for a 2 bed apartment (twin/single rooms) from the 11/09 to the 18/09. Preferable within walking distance of the beach and if possible the city cente (willing to use buses/taxis if not). Is anyone able to recommend a good website or what are would be a suitable area for the above.

Does anyone know the best places to go fishing in or near Alghero? Would rather do it independently than go on a fishing trip, are there places that you can go on your own, or rent row boats? Do you need a fishing licence?

Dear fellow travelers,

Myself and 11 friends are travelling to Alghero on 14th July. Can anyone recommend a good hotel at a good price and has a good location.

Hello ~
My husband and I will be visiting Alghero the first of September and we are interested in learning how to see Neptune's Grotto. Where do you get on the boat, and what time? how long is the tour? what is the cost?
Thank you!

Hope I don't score a perfect "10" for dumb question of the week, but is it easy enough to hire mountain bikes in Alghero?

Is there a smoking Ban in Alghero?

Me and my sister will be there Friday! Very excited.. Is the Sun out for us? Can anyone suggest the best day trips to do to other islands,etc?
Thanks Alexandra

I was wondering if anyone had any input in terms of staying in fertilia instead of alghero? Fertilia has an inexpensive youth hostel -- but I am wondering if it's really worth it to stay ther instead of alghero? thanks for your help! alex

My sister and are are visiting Alghero in June.. The website site I have looked at dont really give you an idea of cost of meals, drinks, etc.

Also anyone got any ideas on the weather.. again have been on 3 sites and they are all different!? ha ha

We'll be staying in Porto Alabe in May and would like to know how easy it is to get from Alghero to Bosa. Most people seem to recommend a hire car but I'd like to avoid that if at all possible. Are there any direct buses, and if so, how frequent are they? We'll be arriving on a Saturday.

Also, could anyone advise how much spending money we'll need? The last time I visited Italy was pre-Euros so don't really have any idea about the cost of eating out etc.

Having read the other posts it seems like a great place to visit so looking forward to it!
