Major civic museum with Nuragic bronzes, archaeology and the Giants of Mont'e Prama, essential for understanding Sardinia's past.

Monumental terrace above the lower town, popular for sunset views, photos and an easy pause during a walk through Castello.
Long city beach and promenade with sea views, sport facilities and a relaxed local atmosphere from morning to evening.
Sardinian semolina pasta shaped like tiny shells, traditionally served with sausage or tomato sauce. A staple of southern Sardinian home cooking.
Thin semolina pasta with bottarga, olive oil, garlic and parsley. It is prized for its deep marine flavour and strong link to Cagliari’s lagoon cuisine.
Salt-cured mullet roe, sliced or grated over pasta or crostini. One of Cagliari’s signature products from the nearby lagoon and coast.
Refined restaurant serving Sardinian cuisine with modern touches, focused on seafood and seasonal produce in an elegant central setting.
Established seafood restaurant near the port, appreciated for fresh fish, shellfish and classic local preparations in a polished setting.
Historic seafood restaurant in Marina, known for classic Cagliari fish dishes, bottarga and a traditional, bustling dining room.
Moderate for Italy: rooms rise in summer, but dining and buses stay reasonable versus Rome, Milan and Amalfi Coast resorts.
Service is often included or modest. Round up or leave €1-2 in cafés, 5-10% for very good restaurant service, and round up taxi fares.
