The many trattorias and restaurants scattered throughout the city invite you to taste local specialties such as mussels from the Bay of Olbia. In May of each year, the local specialty is even honored with its own mussel festival, where the country, people and guests come together to celebrate and dine.

Olbia also has a lot to offer in terms of history, with its Romanesque church of San Simplicio from the 3rd century AD, the ruins of a nuraghe fortress that is over 3000 years old and the Sa Testa fountain temple. The remains of Roman settlement, such as the Sa Rughitulla aqueduct, stretch like a net across the entire townscape.
