Things to do in Sardinia, Italy: The Best Natural History Museums

January 30, 2022 Enriqueta Cusson

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.

Definitely a magic place! A prehistoric fascinating village emerging from the earth, unique in the world. Guides will take you through the ruins of a prehistoric "castle" and village and tell you the incredible story of the ancient Sardinian people. You'll never see anything like that naywhere in the world, so you better don't miss it! In summer they also organize evening events like concerts, night walks and star observation.
