# 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.
