Things to do in Cagliari, Sardinia: The Best Sightseeing Tours

December 31, 2021 Renato Branum

Sardinia’s largest city (with a little over 150,000 people) and its capital for centuries, Cagliari on the island’s south coast offers the perfect mix of recreation and exploration options. The five-mile-long Poetto Beach is among the best city beaches on the Mediterranean, and together with the adjacent Marina Piccola, satisfies all manner of sun and sea pursuits. Seekers of culture will love Cagliari’s old district, Castello, where 13th-century towers still guard the medieval city walls.

We enjoyed every minute of this excellent tour. The perfect way to see the sights of Cagliari's hilly streets and also include the flamingos and the castle of San Michele. The driver was prompt, friendly, informative and guided us safely through the city. Even though it was not high flamingo season, we did see quite a few and enjoyed seeing the reserved area created for the flamingos. The best part of the morning was driving down ancient tiny streets that were just wide enough for a tuk tuk but not a car. We would not have had this experience without doing the tuk tuk and would highly recommend this tour.

The tour includes a visit to the village museum of San Sperate, the birthplace of the recently disappeared Pinuccio Sciola, artist and sculptor of the stones (he could magically make them play). Along the streets, we will find several of his works and his biggest import: the murals. These are paintings on the walls of the houses they tell about the history and the daily habits of the village. Every corner of the country breathes art and culture that meet with the kindness and availability of the inhabitants.

We made a nice e-bike trip with our host Valentina through Cagliari. The city is big and hilly. But with the e-bikes it was easy explorable and made a lot fun. Valentina introduced the city with its historical and religious side like the procession Feast of Sant’Efisio. She gave also recommendations where to eat typical Sardinian food. At the end of our tour, we spend time together at a street restaurant, drank a coffee and had a nice chat. If you spend some time in Cagliari, then use this option and discover a beautiful city by bike.
