Alghero
Walk along the Bousquet Promenade to the picturesque town of Alghero, a gem on Sardinia’s northwest coastline. Featuring rich Catalan heritage and stunning beaches, Alghero offers something for everyone. One of the best things to do in Alghero is to simply stroll around the historic town center, which has quaint cobblestone streets, historic walls, and beautiful sea views. Taste some fresh seafood, try a glass of local wine, and finish it off with some ice-cream for the perfect Alghero afternoon.
But Alghero isn’t the only highlight nearby; we recommend renting a scooter or car to visit the nearby towns of Bosa or Castelsardo.
