Alghero: authentic experiences between sea, snorkelling and Catalan tradition

Alghero is one of the most fascinating destinations in northwest Sardinia, where breathtaking coastal landscapes meet Catalan culture and local traditions. Known as the "Little Barcelona of Sardinia", Alghero preserves a strong and authentic identity, visible in its ancient ramparts, language, cuisine and architecture. The town is the perfect starting point to explore the Coral Riviera, with excursions, tours and activities for every kind of traveler.

The historic center, enclosed by 17th-century walls, is a maze of alleys, squares and churches that tell centuries of history. A sunset walk along the seafront bastions offers spectacular views of the sea and the Capo Caccia promontory. From here, many of the area’s most scenic excursions depart, including boat tours to Neptune's Grotto, a geological wonder also reachable via a panoramic staircase carved into the cliffside.

Nature lovers will find plenty to explore in the protected areas of Porto Conte Regional Park and Capo Caccia, with hiking trails, cycling routes and scenic viewpoints ideal for photography or simply soaking in Sardinia’s beauty. Beaches like Le Bombarde, Pineta Mugoni and La Speranza are perfect for relaxing or snorkeling.
