Porto Torres is located on the Gulf of Asinara. It is the largest port in the North of Sardinia, and is divided into three sectors: commercial, industrial and tourist. It is a great base for those who wish to visit the north west of the island, thanks to its proximity to Stintino (30 km), Castelsardo (35 km) and Alghero (37 km).

It is 10 nautical miles from Stintino, and approximately 15 from Castelardo. The coast along the Gulf of Asinara is particularly exposed to the mistral and there are no coves or places to anchor, apart from the mentioned ports of Stintino, Porto Torres, Castelsardo and Isola Rossa.

In the Turritan port there is a marina with berths for transit. All necessary amenities are available, such as water, electricity, fuel etc. It is necessary to pay close attention when entering and exiting the port, due to the transit of various ferries.

The city centre is a few minutes from the quay. There you can access all of the main services: bars, restaurants, supermarket, banks, pharmacies, etc.

There are many sites of historical and cultural interest that can be visited in the city: the Antiquarium Turritano and the Archaeological Park, The Romanesque Basilica of San Gavino, the Waterfront and the little churches of Balai, the Aragonese Tower, the Necropolis of Via Libio e quella fuori città di su Crucifissu Mannu
