What to do in Cagliari?
Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia, is a sun-soaked city where ancient history and Mediterranean beauty come together. Explore both the historic sights of Cagliari and the breathtaking natural landscapes that surround it.
Start in Castello, the old town that sits high above the city. Wander through its medieval streets, visit the Cathedral of Santa Maria, and enjoy sweeping views from the Bastione di Saint Remy. Take a short drive to the Roman Amphitheatre and the Botanical Garden, both located within the city.
For some sun and sea, head to Poetto Beach, just a 10-minute drive from the city center, with its long stretch of sand and clear blue waters. Or explore Molentargius Park, home to flocks of pink flamingos and walking trails perfect for a scenic break from the city.
With CARWIZ you can drive along the spectacular southern coast of Sardinia to discover hidden coves and beaches in Villasimius, Chia, or Costa Rei. Each stop offers crystal-clear waters and peaceful, unspoiled surroundings.
From ancient ruins in Nora to the rugged inland landscapes dotted with nuraghi (prehistoric stone structures), Cagliari is the ideal base for a Sardinian road trip, and driving is the best way to see it all.
