Porto Torres is on the north-west coast of Sardinia.

The area of the municipality is almost 10,200 hectares and is subdivided into two parts, almost equal in size.
One part includes the city, the industrial area, and the Roman ruins; the other consists of two islands, [[Asinara]] and the smaller Isola Piana. Since 1997, this part of the municipality is the [[Asinara National Park]].

The morphology of "city part" is flat; the area of Porto Torres and the rest of north-west Sardinia is characterized by a [[Nurra]] plain, with some hill formations in the middle of it. Part of this hill formation is in the municipality of Porto Torres, the highest elevation being Monte Alvaro, rising to a height of 342&nbsp;m [[above sea level]]. 

The communal territory is crossed by two rivers, Rio Mannu and Fiume Santo. The first flows along the edge of Porto Torres to the west, while the second runs near the city and was used as a navigable river as early as the days of [[ancient Rome]].
