Castelsardo, Sardinia

Metropolitan City of Sassari · Sardinia · Italy

Admission and costs
The village streets are free to explore; the optional castle visit with MIM and MOG costs €5 full admission. The museum ticket is not a pass for every church or museum and excludes ARST transport.

Sassari is the railway reference point. ARST route 728 departs from Via Padre Zirano for Castelsardo Piazza Nuova; return services also call at Sassari Stazione FS. From Piazza Nuova, the old village and castle on Via Marconi still require an uphill walk.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
MIM inside Doria Castle offers indoor weaving collections. Winter opening is 10:00–17:00, last entry 16:00, closed on Christmas morning. The €5 ticket also includes MOG, which has different opening hours.

Village admission is free and individual visitors need no reservation. Purchases, food and optional attractions are separate; groups exceeding twenty people use the dedicated portal. The village is closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.

If it rains
The village’s shopping area is almost entirely covered, letting you remain on site. Santa’s House, skating, train and rides are outdoors; using the dining areas involves buying food or drinks.
