Cagliari Sardinia

[freya1809]

We are visiting in August. Grateful for advice on whether you can tour the city independently with ease. Is the port nearby? What are the  muet sees and how close are the attractions? Good lunch places? How easy is it to get a cab?

Welcome to CC (again) I replied to your Cadiz questions a little while ago, and much of that reply will apply to your Cagliari questions.

 

Cruise ships dock quite centrally  in the city.  I would add that it is definitelyy worth taking a bus from the stop which is  around a 5 minute walk from the dock, up to the highest point of the city then walk down, as otherwise it is a very long and very steep uphill walk. i found bus routes and numbers online.

 

There is much info online,. Try Tripadvisor and others, also the local tourist info office website, but also check websites such as whatsinport (much more than its name suggest so do look) and others.  There have also been several previous threads and posts about Cagliari here on CC.

 

To find them, go to the Italy forum (this one, but not to your own thread) and into the SEARCH box (under your user name), input Cagliari then select ON THIS FORUM from the drop down, then hit the little magnifying glass and all past threads containing that word will appear ready for you to read.   This one to start you off but there are others:

If you are as yet unfamiliar with CC it is worth spending time learning how to get the most from the site also learning the short cuts.

I loved just exploring Cagliari mostly on my own by foot and public bus. Photos are here: Cagliari Sardinia - Jan. 2019 on Viking Sky Photo Gallery by Ruth Rosenthal at pbase.com
