World Wings: Cagliari, South Sardinia

Cagliari, South Sardinia Italy

Cagliari is pure Mediterranean essence, revealed in every corner of the city and in every bite of its delicious cuisine. The capital of Sardinia is in the southern part of the island and is its political, economic and cultural centre. It boasts Roman ruins of great importance, such as the Amphitheatre, along with many other traces of Cagliari’s priceless historical heritage. It’s an easy city to explore on foot, where you can lose yourself in the narrow streets of the old town in the upper part of the city, enclosed by fortifications. Wandering through the Castello district, the living heart and memory of the city, you’ll come across the Cathedral and its adjoining museum, the Royal Palace and countless churches. A fine staircase leads up to the Bastion of Saint Remy, whose terrace offers a 360‑degree view over the city. Cagliari also has an excellent city beach, Poetto Beach, an 8‑kilometre‑long, fully equipped stretch of sand that’s perfect for sunbathing, swimming and relaxing. By night it turns into a nightlife hotspot, with clubs, cocktail bars and restaurants. Cagliari is without doubt a top tourist destination, and one of the most fascinating cities in Sardinia and in Italy.
