Which one to choose in Olbia
Two churches in Olbia. Basilica of San Simplicio has no online ticket listed; San Paolo has no online ticket listed. The table and the two notes below put them side by side; the full pages have what to see, the ticket and the timing for each.
Olbia, Italy
The basilica is free to enter and there is no ticket for anything. A small archaeological area beside it, with Roman and Punic burials, is fenced and visible from the street. Olbia is the ferry and airport gateway to the Costa Smeralda and most visitors pass through rather than stay; the church is a ten-minute walk north of the centre, behind the railway line, and is easy to reach on foot.
Olbia, Italy
San Paolo is in the old centre of Olbia, on a lane a few minutes from the main shopping street, and it is free to enter. Olbia is where most visitors to north-eastern Sardinia arrive, by air or by ferry, and many of them pass straight through to the coast without seeing the town at all, which is a small mistake.
