The local's trick

With strong winds, connections may be cancelled: check alerts before planning your same-day return.

What to bring

  • Windproof jacket
  • Closed-toe shoes
  • Power bank
  • Document for museums

If it's windy or bad weather

  • If it stops raining, the south coast (Lido Burrone, Punta Longa) is the most sheltered from the mistral.
  • With just wind and clear skies, cycle inland, away from the exposed coast.
