THE HISTORICAL CENTER
Right from the start you will be captivated by the cobbled streets and its historical monuments scattered everywhere. Since Alghero is the capital of the “Riviera del Corallo”, most of the shops you will find will sell jewelery in red coral, the local specialty. It is truly the perfect souvenir to take home after returning from your holidays in Sardinia!
Not to be missed
The fortifications and walls of Alghero: recently restored, the walk along the ramparts is fantastic and offers many beautiful viewpoints on the coast.
It is also the perfect place to enjoy the sunset in Alghero.


BEACHES
The most famous is that of the Bombarde. Unfortunately, in recent years it has lost some sandy space due to some storm surges, but the sea water is transparent and clear. Lazzaretto beach with more than 1.5 km of coastline. A little further north than the Bombarde it has light and thin sand surrounded by vegetation formed by the Mediterranean machine. Lido beach, also known as Lido San Giovanni. Its depths are shallow and are frequented not only by tourists but also by most of the locals. All three of these beaches have wheelchair-accessible bathing establishments with disabled toilets. Last, certainly not least, is the small beach of Portò Conte located in the bay of the same name just before the lighthouse. Being mostly rocky, it is inaccessible to wheelchairs but the colors of the sea, visible from above, leave you breathless. Furthermore, its backdrop is rich in mother-of-pearl stones and starfish.
