What travelers are saying
- SteveBalzan, Malta22 contributionsVery nice, clean and well kept coastal area. White sand and clear sea which stretches for miles. Also a very good (and flat) jogging and cycling route if you enjoy that. Not that many restaurants for such a large area and the ones I went in struggled with English...but nothing Google Translate couldn't fix.Written May 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paul millerSheffield, UK8 contributionsFantastic market with amazing produce and local vendors happy to help even when you don’t speak Italian.

- Elizabeth S3 contributionsSardinia has a tremendously rich and loooong history. This museum provided great context and additional detail to all of the sties we had previously visited on our travels (such as Su Nuraxi di Barumini and the Nora Archeological Site). It truly helped us untangle and make sense of the competing timelines. The museum is very well laid out, with loads of interesting pieces, as well as great dual language interpretive panels (IT & EN).Written April 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- laczkozsuDebrecen, Hungary1,690 contributionsThis stunning cathedral is located in the Old Town, in the Castello district, on one of the seven hills. It’s on the highest point of the capital city but it’s worth to climb up and visit it. It’s the most important church of the city. It’s from 13th century and it took more than 400 years to build the cathedral. The white marble facade is very impressive. Inside it’s very richly decorated. The crypt (in baroque style) is also worth a visit, it’s very important, too.Written February 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- laczkozsuDebrecen, Hungary1,690 contributionsIt is one of the oldest and the most important sanctuary of the island. It became one of the landmark of Cagliari. Its origin came back to 14th century. The famous statue of the Virgin Mary (can be seen inside) has an interesting legend. The sanctuary is located on a hill on the eastern part. The building itself is impressive, nice architecture, but the interior is less beautiful.Written February 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Katie6 contributionsLovely park, perfect for a sit down and picnic. It has a play area so is good for children too as well as a lot of animals to look at. Furthermore, it is free entry so definitely worth a visit if you want to spend a few hours away from the city.Written September 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KrisD_plWarsaw, Poland7,784 contributionsI visited the place twice - in December and February. Flamingos come to spend the winter in Sardinia and park of Molentargius lake is one of the most easily accessed places where you can spot those birds. At the information point you can arrange excursions with a guide or take a walk or even better - hire a bike (for a fee - check my photos) and ride along the salines. A lot of fun for birdwatchers but not only.
TIP: if you'd like to spot some more flamingos, the other good place is saline lake south-west of Cagliari adjacent to road SS195 (car required)Written January 12, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A nice promenade to the nearby sleeping lady mountain range. There is no official path to reach the peak, as the military base blocks the entire northern side. But following locals late afternoon, there are few wild path to lead you to the Sela del Diavolo, one of the ruins on this hill range. Searching for a path to reach to the peak, which seem to be the “official” hiking route, turned out to be non-existent. Ventured along the miliary base where I found a wild narrow path thru the forest to reach the top stone plateau. Fabulous view, 360 degrees … with some left over Roman Ruins and the famous nuraghe buildings, main type of ancient megalithic accommodation / towers dating back to the Nuragic Age between 1900 to 730 BC. Don’t miss to crowl thru some spikey cactuses to reach the chalk-cave, called Sella del Diavolo. There are approximately 7,000 nuraghes left in Sardinia today. Turning time back 4,000 years ago amongst such a scenery is truly a unique experience. The official path, flatter and easier-to-walk path, is leading to the Calamosca Beach. It was a Sunday, so the Disco tunes and party was on early afternoon till late night. Long queues, traffic jam and many happy party-lovers. Walking back to the Poetto beach took like 4 – 5 km … definitely a detour, but no other choice, unless driving by motorcycle or car.Written April 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
