Barcelona
Barcelona stretches its port between Montjuïc hill and the seafront, a few minutes from the centre. Ferries for Sardinia leave from the port’s passenger terminal, which you reach by car along the Ronda Litoral or by public transport. Arrive at the terminal with time to spare: checks and vehicle boarding take a while in summer.
Porto Torres
Porto Torres is the main port of north-western Sardinia: ferries from Genoa, Civitavecchia, Toulon and Barcelona arrive here, mostly after an overnight crossing. Sassari, the island’s second city, is about twenty kilometres away, and Alghero about forty. For travellers without a car, the train links Porto Torres to Sassari, then to Cagliari.
