City in Italy
3 things to see
Cagliari is Sardinia’s sunny capital and one of the better-value coastal cities in Italy. The hilltop Castello quarter is free to wander for its lanes and ramparts views, and the long Poetto city beach right by town costs nothing to use. Seafood here runs cheaper than the resort towns elsewhere on the island, and late spring or early autumn give you warm sea and quiet streets without summer prices.
What to see
What each one costs, where the cost is known.
A grand neoclassical terrace built atop the old city walls, offering free 360-degree views over Cagliari's rooftops, harbor, and surrounding lagoons. The monumental staircase leading up from Piazza Costituzione is an attraction in itself.
The old hilltop citadel of Cagliari is a free open-air museum of Pisan towers, narrow lanes, and panoramic terraces overlooking the port and lagoons. Walking through its medieval gates and along the ramparts costs nothing and delivers the best views in Sardinia's capital.
An eight-kilometer stretch of sandy beach easily reached by city bus from central Cagliari. Free access, shallow turquoise water, and the dramatic silhouette of Sella del Diavolo headland at one end make it one of the best urban beaches in Europe.
