Time in Jazz 2027 – International Jazz Festival in Berchidda

Welcome to the Time in Jazz 2027 in Berchidda

Time in Jazz is the international festival founded by Sardinian trumpeter Paolo Fresu that has filled the squares and landscapes of northern Sardinia with jazz and world music since 1988.

Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Berchidda

• Arrive via Olbia Airport (approximately 40–50 minutes) or by ferry to Golfo Aranci/Olbia; continue by rental car or public transport to Berchidda.
• Pack light summer clothing plus an evening jacket – nights in the hills can be cooler. Comfortable shoes are recommended for moving between venues.
• Book accommodation in Berchidda and the surrounding area early, as the festival draws significant numbers of visitors. Alternatives are available in Olbia, Tempio Pausania or along the coast.
• Use the official app or website for up-to-date venue maps and programme changes – the festival is deliberately decentralised.
• Combine your visit with explorations of the Gallura landscape, archaeological sites and Sardinian cuisine for a complete experience.
