What to do in Alghero for the August holidays?
The Catalan city has always been the queen of the August holidays in Sardinia. It is a popular destination for young people thanks to its intense nightlife and many activities. It is also popular with families who love to spend the week of august between days at the beach and evenings strolling through the old town cobbled streets.
The celebrations for the week of August in Alghero do not stop on the 15th alone, but involve the entire month between all the festivals JazzAlguer, AlguerComedy, and the highly anticipated Alguer Summer Festival.
The week of August is notoriously sold-out: you might consider a few aspects
Beaches: go to the beach very early in the morning to find parking and space for your towel and beach-umbrella. If you opt for bathing establishment, book your place weeks in advance.
Restaurants: are generally fully booked for both lunch and dinner. Book well in advance (below you will find the menus in the best restaurants of Alghero).
Hotels and B&B: very difficult to find rooms usually sold many months in advance. However, don’t be discouraged if you haven’t booked yet, there are always last minute offers available. Scroll to the bottom of the page to find the best offers on the map.
Parking: is a real sore point during the summer season and particularly during the week of August. It is advisable to arrive in the city in the early afternoon to find a parking space. Large car parks are available in Alghero: Piazzale della Pace or Piazza dei mercati (underground). Other spaces are generally set up in peripheral areas, so bring your comfortable shoes…
Tour & Excursions: the most popular tours go sold-out for mid-August. Book your tour now before the availability ends.
