Travel Tips
Book in Advance**: Whether you choose to travel by train, bus, or car, booking your tickets in advance can save you money and ensure you secure a seat, especially during peak tourist seasons.
Timing Matters**: The ferry from Figari to Olbia is a popular route, with several departures daily. Check the schedule ahead of time to find a convenient departure that fits your travel itinerary. Allow at least 30 minutes before departure for check-in.
Luggage Restrictions**: If traveling by bus or train, be aware of luggage restrictions. Typically, buses allow for one large suitcase and a small carry-on. For ferries, you may have more flexibility, but check the operator’s specific policies.
Border Crossing**: Keep in mind that Figari is in France and Olbia is in Italy. Ensure you have your passport or ID ready for border checks, as you will be crossing from one country to another.
Consider a Rental Car**: If you prefer flexibility, renting a car can be a great option. It allows you to explore more remote areas of Sardinia after arriving in Olbia. Make sure to book ahead, especially during busy seasons, and check for any additional insurance or paperwork needed for cross-border travel.
