Olbia by car

Olbia opens the door to Gallura, a granite country of cork oaks and wind-carved rock behind the emerald beaches. Ferries from the mainland dock a short hop from the runway, and most arrivals head straight out to the water.

Driving in Olbia

Olbia is reached by SS131 DCN, SS125 Orientale Sarda and SS729. Parking in the centre is paid and marked by zone.

Arriving by road

The SS131 expressway heads for Nuoro and Cagliari, and national roads lead to Palau (SS125), Tempio Pausania (SS127) and Sassari (SS199-E840). Much of the centre is one continuous ZTL made up of zones A, B and C, and the main part of zone C is off-limits to most vehicles at all times, with fines for entering.

From the airport without a car

Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport lies on the southern edge of town, and urban bus lines 2 and 10 link it with Olbia centre. A white self-service kiosk next to the left luggage desk sells tickets, and fares can also be paid on board by contactless card.
