Plan your journey from Alghero Fertilia Airport
Alghero Fertilia Airport is about 10km north of Alghero. With your Avis car hired from the airport, it should only take you around 15 minutes to reach the town centre.Alghero is a beach lover’s paradise. Bombard Beach is one of the most secluded and most beautiful stretches of sand in town. Blessed with crystal-clear water, pretty much year-round sunshine and fine white sand, it’s the ideal spot to spend a day relaxing. Just next door is Lazzaretto beach – equally stunning – but also a popular spot for activities like kayaking and diving. The Torre Del Lazzaretto (a tower built in the 14th century) is also a popular sight here.
For an injection of culture, visit the Museo Diocesano d'Arte Sacra – a museum of religious art in the city centre. Important woodcarvings, paintings, statues and silverware are on display here.
A trip to an Italian island would not be complete without sampling the local seafood. Borgo Antico is a restaurant set inside an ex-convent in the town’s historic centre. Tuck into classic Italian dishes, like spaghetti with mussels. For dessert, the hole-in-the-wall ice cream shop, Gelateria I Bastioni, always manages to impress.
