Cagliari

Sun, sea, sights and natural landscapes of special charm: Cagliari offers many attractions to the tourist. Blessed with a mild climate, the regional capital of Sardinia (164,250 inhabitants) is a town full of fascinating history and friendly people. Located on the southern side of the island, Cagliari is linked to the mainland by the port and the airport.

It has been inhabited for a very long time, and owes its features to a melting pot of traditions, architectural styles and habits, influenced in turn by the former Roman, Byzantine, Spanish and Piedmontese dominations. A blend of the old and the new, Cagliari is at the same time a historical cultural city and a leading centre of the Sardinian economy. In Cagliari, culture, folklore and cuisine are not clichés: they are a real part of everyday life.

Thanks to its beautiful summers and its mild winters, springs and autumns, every day the town offers the opportunity to walk the streets of its historic districts; to relax by drinking a good coffee in one of the many cafés located in its most famous streets; to enjoy a typical Sardinian dish in one of the restaurants that jealously guards old recipes and serves homemade dishes; to sunbathe on one of the beaches along the coast; or to take part in one of the many events organized by the Town Council for local citizens and tourists alike.
