Cagliari, the capital of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia, has the charm of a thousand years of history enclosed between the white limestone cliffs and the blue sea. Located in the centre of the Golfo degli Angeli, on the southern coast of Sardinia, the beautiful city of Cagliari is one of the many surprises that southern Sardinia has to offer, a lively and bustling city, rich in history, art and culture, just a few steps from the sea.
The areas of the old town (Marina, Stampace and Villanova) are characteristic and rich in history and art, and among the handicrafts, restaurants, traditional markets and lively streets it is possible to find little gems: archaeology, museums and monasteries.
Besides history and culture, Cagliari offers many natural wonders: lagoons populated by numerous bird species, parks and beautiful beaches.
