Cagliari: where to stay and how to get around

Choose Cagliari if you want to get around without a car, go out in the evening and combine cultural visits with days at Poetto beach. If you plan to spend most of the holiday on the beaches of the south-east or Sulcis, consider a few nights on the coast to avoid long daily drives.

Review published with authorization 5/5

I stopped comparing endless tabs

I kept opening maps and articles without getting closer to a decision. The area comparison showed which places genuinely fitted my priorities. I booked with confidence and, for once, without the familiar last-minute doubt.
