Trenino Verde
Sardinia has an unforgettable coastline, but the interior of the
island is equally as beautiful. A fun way to explore it is aboard
the Trenino Verde (Little Green Train), a vintage steam locomotive
that puffs its way through forests, over bridges and through
tunnels into some of the island's most scenic mountain areas. The
narrow-gauge train tracks were laid in 1888 to serve the more
isolated areas of Sardinia, and the picturesque restored train and
locomotive is just as old. The train runs on scheduled routes,
connecting Nuoro and Bosa, Sassari and Alghero, Sassari and Palau,
and Cagliari and Arbatax. Most popular is the Cagliari to Arbatax
route, which departs each morning at 6.45am.
Information & Facts
Language
The official language of Italy is Italian. English is
understood in the larger cities but not in the more remote parts of
the country.
Money
The Euro (EUR) is the official currency, which is divided into
100 cents. Those arriving in Italy with foreign currency can obtain
Euros through any bank, ATM or bureaux de change. ATMs are
widespread. Travellers cheques can be exchanged with ease in the
large cities, not so in the smaller towns. Credit cards are
accepted in upmarket establishments and shops around the cities.
Banks are closed on weekends, but tend to have better rates than
casas de cambios.
Opening Times
The train runs daily between 30 June and 1
September
