The 10 Best Things to do Good for Kids in Sardinia, Italy

April 19, 2022 Vergie Nakamoto

The second-largest island in Mediterranean after Sicily, Sardinia serves up a lovely blend of sea, sand and history. Thousands of nuraghe (stone buildings) dot the landscape, proof that people have been enjoying the lovely climate here for millennia. From posh Costa Smerelda in the north to medieval Alghero in the northwest to the lively capital of Cagliari in the south, and with many picturesque towns and unspoiled sandy beaches in between, Sardinia’s got a little something for everyone.

Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena

La Maddalena Archipelago National Park is a geomarine protected area consisting of a group of islands situated in the north-east of the coast of Gallura, in the stretch of sea between Sardinia and Corsica known as Bocche di Bonifacio. These islands – except for La Maddalena Island housing the homonymous town and characterized by a significant human presence – are entirely deserted or scattered with small human settlements, like in Caprera and Santa Maria Islands.

You MUST take a boat trip around the Arcipelago if your visiting Sardinia. Full day excursion, calling at 3 Islands, Maddalena, Maria & Pargi - all part of a National Park with limited Tourist access. Fabulous trip

San Benedetto market

This open-air market in Sardinia's principal city is noisy, busy, colorful and lots of fun.

Reviewed By 294mariay - Chester, United Kingdom

Loved this place - sights, smells, bustle, amazing food! Mix with the locals and spend a fraction of what you would in a restaurant .. we loved buying up lots of little portions of Salami, breads and cheeses (you can also try first !). The seafood market is out of this world.. market sellers very friendly and patient with our rubbish Italian and will throw in a freebie or bargain. Great for photographers too!

Tharros

Located on the northern promontory of the Gulf of Oristano are the ruins of Tharros, a Phoenician-Roman port city that was abandoned in the year 1000 AD.

Reviewed By X2482ILjamesl - Stuart, United States

If you like ruins, you will love Tharros. Remote ocean side setting, a bit of a trek to get there but worth every km. Easily accessible, with walkable tracks and paths and superb signage in most places, Italian and English that provide sufficient explanation of the ruins.Worthwhile to download a more comprehensive guide before you go, if you require additional detail. Also note that insect repellent might be in order, the mosquitos were not swarming but were were annoying

Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari

The Archaeological Museum is part of the National Archaeological Museum of Cagliari, a MiC institute with special autonomy since 2019. The Museum is located in the ancient Castello district within the Citadel of Museums which was built between 1956 and 1979 designed by architects Libero Cecchini and Piero Gazzola with the recovery of the royal arsenal and medieval walls. The archaeological collection includes over 4,000 artifacts that tell a long history of almost 7,000 years, from prehistoric times to the early Middle Ages, from Neolithic mother goddesses to Nuragic bronzes, from Phoenician and Punic jewels to Byzantine cult objects.

Reviewed By Drgiggles - Hertfordshire, United Kingdom

Museum covers everything in Sardinia from Neolithic age (brilliant carved statues from 6,000years BC) through Bronze Age (Nuraghic period), to Roman times. It has descriptions in italian and english. Our favourite pieces were the Neolithic statues and tools, the amazing giant statues (Giganti Di Prama) and Bronzetti (beautiful small Bronze statues) from the Nuraghic Bronze age, the stele from 800yrs BC with the first example of Western writing, the Roman jewelry and roof tiles recovered from a sunken ship. We went on a quiet day off-peak and had the place to ourselves. We spent 3hrs there, and still needed to go back another day. Only down side, there is no cafe, just a drinks machine.

If you stay in holidays in the north west cost of Sardinia, this little beach is a MUST visit place!! Worth driving more than hour to admire this amazing place! Water is nn second to nn! (Even Maldives! Without sea marine life obviously) be prepare to arrive early as parking space in the streets are limited, there is a private parking to in the hill too. You must bring a “stuoia” or get an ombrellone :).
