More and more tourists choose to spend their whole journey, or a part of it, without a car. 

But how and why? In this article we will try to give you all the tips and the suggestion. 

So, let's go...

How?

From the airport of Cagliari take the train to the bus station of Cagliari ( ARST). Once here, catch the bus 129 that connects Cagliari to Pula.

The distance is about 35km and it takes about 1 hour. The bus offers a comfortable ride in air-conditioned buses. You can relax and enjoy the views. The bus operates on a regular schedule, but it's always a good idea to check the timetable in advance to plan your departure accordingly.

Once you arrive in Pula, get down at the last stop, near Crai supermarket and follow the indication we gave you. Our B&B is at 10 minutes walking from the bus stop.

Why?

We just explain you how, now we would like to talk about the several advantages choosing to spend your holiday without a car:

Cost-effective: Public buses are a budget-friendly transportation option. They are generally cheaper than taxis or private transfers, saving you money that you can use for other activities during your trip.

Convenience: Buses from Cagliari Airport to Pula run regularly and have designated stops, making it easy to catch one without the need for pre-booking. The bus stops in Pula are centrally located, allowing for easy access to the town's attractions and amenities.

Local Experience: Traveling by public bus gives you a chance to immerse yourself in the local culture and interact with fellow travelers or residents onboard. It can be a fascinating way to observe the everyday life of the people in Sardinia.

Eco-friendly: Opting for public transportation helps reduce your carbon footprint. Buses can accommodate many passengers at once, making them a greener choice than individual cars.

Flexibility: With a public bus, you have the flexibility to choose your departure time based on your schedule. Buses generally operate from early morning until late evening, allowing you to plan your trip according to your preferences and needs.
