San Benedetto market

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

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!

Santuario e Basilica di Bonaria

Reviewed By 561annap - Sliema, Malta

The Sanctuary is small and really beautiful, Gothic Aragonese in style. You are immediately attracted by the statue of Our Lady of Bonaria, which arrived in Sardinia in a very adventurous way in 1370. There is a special atmosphere in the Sanctuary. The Basilica was built in 1704 and is used on Saturdays and Sundays and for special events. The location is perfect to enjoy a great view.

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.

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.

Very interesting visit. The site is beautiful and everything is very well explained. I would advise to do the tour with a guide because it allows you to understand in much more detail and to ask questions. Andrea was an excellent guide!

Reviewed By mupp2 - The Netherlands, null

lovely beach, one of the most beautiful I visited on Sardinia. perfect sand , beautiful view and cristal clear water. just a bit unlucky that it was windy the day we came there so umbrella was not an option, but staying there for long without shadow was not an option either. but if we'll go to sardinia again, this one is definitely on the list!
