🚌 Departure from Alghero (Sardinia)
📍Departures leave from Alghero-Fertilia airport, the airport serving Alghero and the north-west coast of Sardinia. It is a small, easy-to-navigate regional airport. Check your terminal details and boarding gate on your confirmation before you travel.

⏰Flight times vary by season and day of the week, with more choice in summer. Check the current timetable on this page and pick a departure that leaves you comfortable margin.

Practical tips

💡
Book early, not at the last minute

Fares on a popular island route tend to rise as the date approaches, especially in summer. Compare dates on this page, book as soon as your plans are firm, and avoid paying a last-minute premium.

💡
Check the Rome arrival airport

Rome has more than one airport. Look at the arrival airport on your booking before you pay, because your onward route to the centre and to your hotel depends on it.

💡
Know your Rome station

If you continue by rail after landing, note whether your train leaves from Roma Termini or Roma Tiburtina. Mixing them up is a common mistake that can cost you a connection.

💡
Read the baggage rules

Cabin and hold baggage allowances differ by fare and carrier. Check them before booking so you do not face extra charges at the gate, particularly with a large backpack or suitcase.

💡
Leave margin for the airport

Even small airports have security and boarding checks. Arrive with comfortable margin, particularly in high season, and keep your ID and boarding pass easy to reach on your phone or in print.

The journey experience

Getting from Alghero to Rome means crossing the Tyrrhenian Sea, and for an independent traveller the flight is the option to look at first. Instead of weighing trains, coaches and ferries as you would on the mainland, you can compare the real choice quickly. The table on this page shows current times and fares side by side.

Flying from Alghero means checking in at a small, easy regional airport with short queues and a relaxed pace compared with the big hubs. Comfort is standard for a short domestic flight: a simple seat, and a cabin baggage allowance that varies by fare. Rules differ between carriers, so check the baggage terms before you book, especially if you are carrying a backpack or a larger suitcase after a stay on the Sardinian coast.

Your main worries are probably choosing the wrong departure point or overpaying at the last minute. Here the departure is simple: Alghero-Fertilia airport. On the Rome side, check which airport your ticket lands at, then plan the onward link to the centre by airport train or bus, and to Termini or Tiburtina if you continue by rail. Book ahead in high season, when seats fill up, and you can travel with confidence.

What to do in Rome?

Local experiences, must-see sights and activities selected for you

MUST-SEE
🏛️
Colosseum, Forum and Palatine Hill
Rome's iconic amphitheatre, combined with the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill on a single ticket (from 18€, valid 24h). Book online weeks ahead and enter at 8:30 to beat the crowds. Bring water and a hat: shade is scarce, and the Forum alone takes two hours.
⛪
Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel
Over 7 km of galleries ending in Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel (around 20€, plus booking fee online). Go at opening time or on a Friday evening in season, and avoid Wednesdays and Mondays. Shoulders and knees must be covered. Silence is requested in the chapel.
🕍
Pantheon at Opening Time
The best-preserved ancient Roman building, topped by a 43-metre unreinforced concrete dome with an open oculus. Entry costs around 5€ and a timed ticket is advised. Arrive right at opening for soft light and few visitors, and check the oculus beam around midday.
⛲
Trevi Fountain at Dawn
The Baroque masterpiece is nearly empty before 7:00, when you can photograph it without elbows. Since 2026 a small access fee of around 2€ applies to the basin area at peak times. Toss a coin over your shoulder, then grab a coffee at a nearby bar standing at the counter.
🍝
Roman Pasta in Testaccio
Testaccio is the home of authentic Roman cooking: carbonara, cacio e pepe, amatriciana. Book a trattoria for lunch (pasta mains from 12€) and skip places with photo menus. Finish with a visit to the covered Testaccio Market, where stalls sell supplì and sandwiches for a few euros.
🌳
Villa Borghese Gardens and Gallery
Rome's largest central park hosts the Borghese Gallery, home to Bernini sculptures and Caravaggio paintings (around 15€). Entry is by two-hour slot only, so reserve days ahead. Afterwards, rent a rowboat on the lake for about 4€ or walk up to the Pincio terrace for sunset views.
🕳️
Appian Way and Catacombs
Rent a bike on the ancient Appian Way (about 15€ for the day) and ride past original basalt paving, tombs and aqueducts. Combine with a guided visit of the Catacombs of San Callisto or San Sebastiano (around 10€). The road is car-free on Sundays, so it is calmer then.
🍊
Aventine Keyhole and Orange Garden
Climb the Aventine Hill to peek through the keyhole of the Knights of Malta door, which frames St Peter's dome perfectly. Then walk to the free Orange Garden for a panoramic view over the Tiber. Go late afternoon to avoid queues at the keyhole and enjoy golden light.

How long to visit Rome?

3 to 5 days

Plan 3 days to cover the essentials: ancient Rome (Colosseum, Forum, Palatine), the Vatican (Museums, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's) and the historic centre (Pantheon, Trevi, Piazza Navona). With 4 to 5 days you can add Trastevere, Villa Borghese, the Appian Way and a day trip to Ostia Antica or Tivoli. Book Colosseum and Vatican tickets online several weeks ahead and start early to avoid queues and heat.
