Passport / Visa

Passport / Visa

Italy can be visited visa-free for up to 90 days by citizens of most European countries, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Israel, UAE and most countries in America. If you are unsure whether or not you need to apply for a visa, we recommend contacting the embassy or consulate in your country. International (non-Schengen) travellers need a passport that is valid for at least 3 months after the end of their intended trip in order to enter the Schengen zone. Citizens of Schengen countries can travel without a passport, but must have a valid ID with them during their stay.

Best Time to Visit

Best Time to Visit

Sardinia is probably at its best in Summer, when it offers beautiful days at the seaside and streets vibrant with events and street performers. July and August are the most popular months to go, and on August 15th huge celebrations are held for the religious festival of Ferragosto, so expect the beaches to be crazy crowded the whole week. June and the first weeks in September will probably be as pleasant, a little bit colder and less packed with people. If you're not a fan of beach life, visiting in April and May can be a great alternative: you won't risk super hot days, you'll enjoy the nature, and you'll find some interesting events dedicated to gardening and outdoor activities.

Trains

Trains

Trains in Sardinia meander leisurely through the countryside, making the rail journey as much about the scenic voyage as the destination itself. Trenitalia operates the majority of this picturesque network, with the longest stretch running from Olbia to Cagliari. The train station in Olbia, located at Via Giacomo Pala 10, is conveniently reached by buses 2 and 10 from the airport. So sit back, relax, and let Sardinia's beauty unfold before your eyes.

Taxis are generally inexpensive. There are cab ranks in larger towns and villages, and your hotel will book a car for you if needed. The fare should be determined by the meter, and if it isn't, agree on the price in advance.
