Nous y allons en mai...je te dirais nos impressions, d'apres d'autres forums de voyage, c'est une ile très sympathique, je n'en ai entendu que du bien 🙂
J'attends impatiemment de tes nouvelles. Surtout, si tu as des infos relatives au stationnement des c/cars (vidanges...) je suis preneur !
Bon voyage... en + en mai, ça sera nettement plus cool que pour moi en juillet.
Nous venons de réserver le bateau en open deck, Piombino/olbia, cela fait environ 6 à 7 h de traversée, suffisant pour nous qui n'aimons pas le bateau!
J'ai fait la sardaigne en aout 2004, il faut savoir que la sardaigne c'est la cote d'azur des italiens.
En sardaigne si tu y va juste pour faire de la plage c'est le bon endroit, il y a plein de petites criques sur toutes les cotes de l'ile, de belles plages, eau turquoise pleins d'activité mais comme je l'ai dit plus haut c'est la cote d'azur... si tu vois ce que je veux dire....
Pour ce qui est de la culture... c'est pas la qu'il faut aller, il y a bien quelques nuraghes mais ils sont tellement dispersés, il y a bien des eglises ou des ruines romaines mais bon est ce que cela vaut le detour....
Les villes, tout est fermé de 12 a 18 heures sauf endroit tres touristique, bcp de magasins sont fermés pour congé annuels... La ville que j'ai preferé est orgosolo je vous laisse decouvrir ce que c'est.... mais la aussi prevoir son casse-croute!
Si tu souhaites te reposer sur la plage, te faire bronzer et profiter des activités nautiques ainsi que des activités aux abords des plages c'est le bon endroit, aussi non... la corse est plus interessante!
Finalement, je me demande si je vais garder ce projet encore en tête longtemps car je crains d'être assez déçu par une île somme-toute assez quelconque.
Y at-til des Sardes dans ce forum ? Qu'ils défendent leur île ! J'attends leurs arguments 😛
J'y étais l'an dernier en juin. Il y a de beaux paysages. Les sardes sont plutôt sympas. La destination est à mon avis à réserver aux plongeurs ou aux adeptes du farniente. Pour le même prix, je te conseille plutôt la Corse, la Sicile ou la Crête qui ont beaucoup plus à offrir.
Nous avons longé les cotes de Sardaigne en 1999 et y sommes retournés en 2000. Que du bonheur si l'on souhaite se reposer et profiter de la mer. Les plages sont magnifiques (costa smeralda au nord - bien que un peu réservée à la jet set, nous avons découvert des sites superbes (ile maddalena et nombreuses criques le long de la cote). Le sud est très beau également.
Par contre, je confirme qu'il n'y a pas beaucoup de choses à visiter hormis les nuraghes et quelques villes sympas (alghero notre préférée).
Si cela vous intéresse, je puis vous envoyer par mail le compte rendu de nos deux séjours.

Je pars en Sardaigne dans peu de temps, je suis preneur pour un compte rendu de tes séjours, cela me rendrait service.
Merci d'avance

bonjour a tous, j'ai 20 ans, je suis pas sarde, mes grands parents ont acheté une petite maison en sardaigne il ya 40 ans, depuis cela toute la famille se la partage(et dispute), on est tous littéralement amoureux et tt particulièrement moi depuis ke je suis tt petit. Alors kan je tombe sur ce forum et ke je lis les commentaires de gens ki expriment pleins de betises à son propos, j'ai mal au coeur! Tout d'abord la Sardaigne n' a strictement rien a voir avec la cote d'azure je vous en donne ma parole, ensuite c'est une ile qui regorge de trésors culturels, tout un tas de cités puniques, près de 1000 nuraghes (si je ne m'abuse), monuments funéraires uniques au monde, pour découvrir cela il ne vous suffit pas de demander des renseignements chez neckerman ou ds n'importe kelle agence de voyage, il faut se donner la peine de rentrer ds un musée et d'acheter une carte de la sardaigne ou l'index des milliers de vestiges romains, puniques, et nuragiques y est indiqué. Croyez moi, sur 20 ans je n'ai pas encore découvert le dixieme de ce k'il ya encore a voir!!! En ce qui concerne les amateurs de shopping, les magasins ouvrent le matin jusk'à 14h puis ils ferment juskà 16h et non 18!!!Et puis de toute façon les gens ki comptent sur les vacances pour s'offrir une garde robe pleine de contrefaçons n'ont rien à faire en Sardaigne. Autre chose : la sardaigne est une des seules régions qui échappe aux tours operators, ce ki constitue l'avantage primordial de découvrir toute une culture et une mentalité très chaleureuse et accueillante. Combien de bergers ne nous ont pas invité à souper chez eux après leur avoir seulement dit bonjour en pleine montagne...seulement il vous faut une voiture, rassurez vous les distances sont assez courtes et ont fait assez vite le tour de l'île en utilisant les "superstrade". L'eau y est azure et cristaline, sur les plages, pas de problème pour trouver des places, pas besoin d'y installer son parasol à 6h du mat pour etre au bord de l'eau et ne pas déborder sur le drap de plage du voisin comme c'est malheuresement le cas ds les pays pourris par le tourisme...Les seuls touristes sont en général des imigrés sardes du continent ki revienennent voir leur famille et non pas des gros touristes allemands tt blanc qu'on entend gueuler à 100 m !En plus de cela les petites sardes sont très allechantes pour les coureurs de jupons ;) . La sardaigne est peut etre cher, mais elle en vaut mille fois le prix, je n'echangerais pas une demi journée en sardaigne contre 3 semaines en jamaiques ou en turquie ou autre part....elle vous permet de découvrir pleins de choses, et puis ce type de voyage est d'une grande qualité, même si vous êtes au camping, les nombreux amoureux de la sardaigne comprendront...Les rares touristes ke je rencontre sont en général des jeunes couples ki sont également TOUS amoureux et qui économisent toute une année pour se permettre de rejoindre l'île...je n'ai jamais entendu de mauvais échos, croyez moi sur parole seulement il faut s'informer! il ya plein de brochures là bas en anglais, en allemand, français etc...Le dépaysement y est total, on succombe en général aux odeurs de figuiers et d'herbes sauvages dès k'on y arrive, le seul probleme reside ds le fait ke c'est une ile dangereuse, kan elle vous mord, vous êtes foutu, vous ne voulez plus rien voir d'autre, et parfois ça peut causer des désagréments avec votre compagne, ou compagnon ki veut partir autre part ou ki trouve ke le voyage est trop cher... SVP ne souillez plus la sardaigne et sa réputation, la seule chose a retenir c'est l'information et je me ferai un plaisir de vous donner tt ce dont vous avez besoin, je connais mieux la sardaigne ke mon propre village de 300 habitants...voici mon adresse mail : pietjes00@hotmail.com
Salut le belge,
je suis sûr que la Sardaigne est une splendide ïle. J'y vais pour la 1ère fois du 14 au 30juillet. J'attéri à Alghero avec mon sac à dos. Je suis à la recherche de petits coins pas trop touriste pas tropdifficile d'accès car je suis à pied.
Pour le logement j'aurai ma tente et je logerai aussi chez l'habitant si je rencontre un habitant qui m'invite chez lui.
Voilà toutes les infos sont les bienvenues au niveau logement, camping, transport, eaux turquoises, criques paumées...
Merci!

Hi there, after reading a well-known travel guide, it seems like there’s a lot to see and do in Valletta (I’m only talking about Valletta itself). That’s why I’m thinking of spending 2 days there. I don’t want to rush and would like to get a complete overview. However, I’ve noticed that some travelers only spend one day there. For those who know the city well, what do you think? (I’ve also planned the Three Cities for another day, by the way).
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
Our accommodation for 5 days will be near a "Carrefour by Deliveroo Hop." There doesn’t seem to be anything else nearby (it’s a very residential area).
I can’t figure out if it’s delivery-only or if you can also do your grocery shopping there. Does anyone know this type of store and could help me out, please?
Thanks in advance!
PS: I called, but I don’t speak Italian and the store doesn’t speak English—so they hung up on me.
Hi,
I’ve found my upcoming trip for February, and now I’m looking for a one-week getaway in April—somewhere not too far with generally nice weather. Any tips?
Best,😉
Hi everyone, we’re a group of 11 people (including 3 kids under 4) who’d like to do a wine tasting tour starting from Florence (we haven’t rented a car) in Chianti.
We’re looking for an organized tour that leaves from Florence and lets the adults do some wine tasting (and olive oil tasting if possible).
For those who’ve done this tour, do you have any suggestions for tour names that organize these kinds of events? What should we look out for before booking these tours?
Hi, who’s familiar with the Algarve?
Lagos—should I go for a rental or a hotel? How do I get from the airport to the seaside, and how do I get around the city? What’s there to see and do?
Thanks for your ideas and tips!
Hello, VoyageForum friends, and happy holidays!
I’m planning a trip with my 19-year-old grandson to Milan for Easter Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in 2025.
I’d love your insights on what we can visit in Milan that would interest both my grandson and me (I’m 75). Of course, I’m thinking of the must-sees, but not just those—cozy little restaurants, trendy neighborhoods, and anything else you’d recommend. I’m also looking for a comfortable hotel in the city center that isn’t too expensive!
I’m sure the VoyageForum community will help me uncover some hidden gems! Looking forward to your replies.
Summer 2027 is going to be Norwegian for us!
We’re heading to the Lofoten Islands first, then Senja, near Tromsø, and finally the North Cape.
We’ll likely start from northern Finland (flight tickets and car rentals are more affordable there).
I’d like to book accommodations early to have more options.
Good value-for-money places go fast in these pricey Nordic destinations...
But where should we book?
We’re planning to stay around ten nights in the Lofoten Islands.
What’s the best approach?
One place in the central part and explore from there?
One place in the south and another in the center?
Or one in the south, one in the center, and one in the north (3-4-3 nights)?
Hi there, my husband and I are planning a trip to Iceland in mid-October 2026.
Would you have any advice on the best places to visit for a first trip to this destination? Thanks
Hi, I'm heading to Italy soon and I wanted to know if Italian banks charge fees when you withdraw cash at an ATM, or if, like in Spain or Greece, it's better to avoid taking out money and bring cash instead. Looking forward to your replies... Thanks
We’re planning a short trip at the end of July to explore the legendary mountains and valleys of the Bernese Oberland: round trip from Nancy (Swiss highway vignette planned), 2 nights in a room with a small kitchen in Adelboden, then 2 nights in a hotel at the Gletscherblick in Grindelwald, both with half-board included.
Could you share some tips on the best road routes to take, as well as some walking hikes (we’re not as fit as we used to be, so nothing longer than 2-3 hours)? Maybe also 1 or 2 cable car rides—I was thinking of Oeschinensee Lake above Kandersteg and the First gondola above Grindelwald for better panoramic views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau... all while keeping it doable with our schedule. We’ve ruled out the "premium" trip up to the Jungfraujoch for this time.
I’m also guessing that paying to access Wengen or Mürren only makes sense if we’re staying there for a few days, right?
- Is the road through the narrow valley of the White Lütschine toward Lauterbrunnen and beyond still worth it in terms of views and scenery?
On the way back, if we have a little time to explore Bern’s historic old town, what’s the best parking plan for a 1- or 2-hour stop?
Thanks in advance for your advice, fellow travelers familiar with this beautiful region! 😉
Hi,
I’ll be in Barcelona at the end of October.
I can choose to be there over the weekend or during the week. Probably 4 nights.
Is there a big difference in terms of crowds in the city and in the museums?
Little or no difference would simplify my itinerary on the way.
Hi there,
I’ll be in Rome from April 1st to 13th, 2026—it’s coming up fast!
I’ve been searching online for tickets to visit the Borghese Gallery, but either there’s no availability or the tickets offered are ridiculously expensive.
Could someone guide me to a website where I can book 2 skip-the-line tickets (I’ve heard you have to reserve in advance online)?
Hi everyone,
I rented a car through Klaus Wagen, picking it up in downtown Porto and returning it in downtown Lisbon.
After paying, I read some pretty negative reviews about them.
So, can anyone reassure me with positive experiences they’ve had with them?
Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
I’m heading to Setúbal at the end of June with my granddaughter, and I can’t seem to find clear info on the best way to get from Lisbon Airport to Setúbal. It looks like there’s a train or bus, but I can’t find the exact names of the bus (or train) companies or the precise departure points. Thanks if anyone can help me out! 😉 Just to clarify, I’m on a tight budget and have already ruled out taxis or similar options.
Hello,
We’re heading to Puglia at the end of May. We’re a senior couple. We arrive in Bari, where we’ve booked accommodation for 2 nights. We’ve rented a car.
Day 1: Bari
Day 2: Polignano a Mare – Monopoli
Day 3: Ostuni – Brindisi
Day 4: Lecce
Day 5 & 6: Exploring the coast from Otranto to Santa Maria di Leuca
Day 7 & 8: Gallipoli area
Day 9 & 10: Matera
We’re considering renting a place near Lecce for 5 days and using it as a base to explore the region.
Hi there,
I visited the Faroe Islands in late March 2026 for about ten days. I was invited by a friend who lives near Tórshavn, so I don’t have any info on tourist accommodations or car rentals. Still, I’d like to share a few thoughts about my trip:
- Before leaving, I consulted travel guides and blogs. I was surprised by how repetitive and unoriginal the featured sites were. This leads hurried travelers to follow the same overcrowded routes, which can annoy locals. I found that all Faroese villages were interesting—they reflect the country’s identity, even without the iconic grass-roofed houses. Those are indeed harmonious and beautiful, but they feel like an exotic cliché. For activities, I loved the lively ports that keep the country running.
- I was annoyed by the paid trails in tourist spots. Locals explained that these paths cross private land, and owners are responsible for maintenance and safety. There are plenty of free trails, too—signs at the start detail their features. While not alarmist, the extreme and unpredictable weather is a key factor to consider before setting out.
- The wind’s strength really impressed me. The architecture, with doors and windows opening outward to prevent gusts from blowing roofs off, speaks to the harsh climate. Some days, relentless rain and squalls made going outside unappealing. I realized that in this country, it’s best to plan for flexible indoor days.
- Distances are relatively short. I was happy to be based near Tórshavn because it was easy to explore one or more places in a day. The roads are in great condition. In late March, diesel was 2 €. Tunnel tolls can add up (~26 € per crossing), making a fixed base less practical than I’d thought.
- Everyone agrees: the landscapes are breathtaking. Nature feels untamed here—except for the short grass, thanks to all the woolly sheep.
- The flight from Paris to the Faroe Islands (and back) was long in March—11 hours with three legs: Paris-Amsterdam, Amsterdam-Copenhagen, Copenhagen-Vágar. In bad weather, Vágar Airport can close, causing delays. During tourist season, Atlantic Airways offers a direct Paris-Faroe Islands flight, which is more comfortable and cheaper.
- I found a book recommendation in a guide that fascinated me after my trip: *Les collectionneurs d'images* by Joanes Nielsen. Through its sometimes caricatured characters, it offers a glimpse into Faroese mentalities from the 1950s to 1970s—attitudes that likely persist today.
In conclusion, I’ve traveled a lot and I’m tired of destinations that all start to look the same. The Faroe Islands were a delight—a country stunning in its landscape, climate, and culture, where tourism has barely altered its authenticity.
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip for October to visit Naples (6 nights) and the Amalfi Coast (5 nights). We’ve already got the historic center and the Lapis Museum in Naples, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Procida, Sorrento, and Ravello on our list. Any suggestions, addresses, or tips?
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
We’re heading to Bavaria from May 13 to 23, with a side trip to Austria.
Here’s our itinerary:
Day 1: Brussels-Munich
Day 2: Munich
Day 3: Munich and departure for Salzburg
We’ll be staying three nights in Salzburg.
Then we’ll head to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where we’ll stay for five nights.
Visiting Munich and Salzburg isn’t too tricky.
Once in Garmisch, we’re planning a day in Innsbruck, a day for Neuschwanstein Castle, and the rest is still up in the air.
What’s really got me stumped is that we’d love to see Königssee Lake—everyone says it’s a must-see.
We’d also like to visit the Eagle’s Nest (Kehlsteinhaus), where the landscapes are supposedly stunning.
This would either be a round trip while we’re in Salzburg or on the way between Salzburg and Garmisch, but I’m guessing it’s impossible to do the drive from Salzburg to Garmisch, the Eagle’s Nest, *and* Königssee Lake all in one day.
Plus, the Alpine route between Salzburg and Garmisch seems prettier than the highway.
But honestly, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with the planning.
We should’ve added a stop between Salzburg and Garmisch, but the hotels are already booked.
Thanks for any advice on the itinerary and visits!
Another question: How far in advance should we book Neuschwanstein, Königssee, and the Eagle’s Nest in May?
Thanks so much in advance for your tips and ideas!
